7/ 28/ 05 Explanation of Draft Schedule for Pesticide Registration Review I. Purpose This document explains the EPA's draft schedule for the registration review program, which will ensure the periodic review of all pesticides. It also describes EPA's proposal for specific chemical class groupings within the overall chronological ( oldest first) schedule.

II. Background A. Overview. EPA published its proposed rule [ http:// www. epa. gov/ fedrgstr/ EPAPEST 2005/ July/ Day 13/ p13776. htm] for the registration review program in the Federal Register on July 13, 2005 with a 90 day comment period. Information on the proposed rule is provided at http:// www. epa. gov/ oppsrrd1/ registration_ review/ index. htm.

This document provides background on the draft schedule [ http:// www. epa. gov/ oppsrrd1/ registration_ review/ draft_ schedule. htm] for the registration review program. This draft schedule shows which chemical cases are expected to begin the review process during the first four years of the program. Although the proposed rule states that EPA will provide a three year schedule with annual updates, this draft schedule includes an additional year, so that there is a predictable and reliable four year planning horizon.

B. Program Goal, Registration Review Case, Baseline Dates, and Scheduling. The goal of the registration review program is the review of the registrations of all pesticides every fifteen years to determine whether they still meet the standard for registration. Under the proposed rule, EPA would establish and modify registration review cases. A case consists of one or more active ingredients that are so closely related in chemical structure and toxicological profile as to allow common use of some or all of the required data for hazard assessments. The proposed rule also states that EPA will establish a baseline date for each case.   The baseline date for pesticides subject to reregistration is generally the date of the Reregistration Eligibility Decision ( RED) or the Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decision ( IRED).   For pesticides not subject to reregistration ( i. e. those active ingredients first used in products registered on November 1, 1984 or later), the baseline date is the date a product containing one of the active ingredients in the case was first registered.   Cases without baseline dates currently assigned are those subject to reregistration that have not yet had a RED or IRED decision.

Under the proposed rule, EPA would develop schedules generally based on baseline dates, but EPA may change the placement of cases in the schedule where warranted to achieve program efficiencies. The proposed rule states that OPP will post schedules on the Web with a three year projection of cases. 2 C. Overview of Draft Schedule. The draft schedule shows which cases are expected to have dockets opened in the first four years of the program to begin the registration review process. It lists all registration review cases as of September 30, 2004. Cases for pesticides registered after that date will be included on subsequent schedules. The number of registration review cases is currently 666, comprising 1,056 active ingredients.   Conventional pesticides have 441 cases and 605 active ingredients;   Antimicrobial pesticides have 115 cases and 211 active ingredients;   Biochemical pesticides have 69 cases and 156 active ingredients; and   Microbial pesticides have 41 cases and 84 active ingredients.

EPA will need to open 44 or more cases per year in order to meet the goal of reviewing all pesticides within 15 years. It will generally not be possible to have final decisions in the same year that dockets are opened for cases, due to time needed to complete the standard registration review process: open the docket; receive and consider comments; issue data call ins, when needed; await study submissions; draft preliminary risk assessments and receive comment on them; and draft and issue final decisions. For the first several years of the program, EPA will be developing a pipeline so that it will have the capacity to make 44 or more decisions each year.

D. Start Date for Registration Review. The Agency plans to begin the registration review program in fiscal year 2007. However, resource uncertainties and the need to complete reregistration work, including RED decisions through 2008, product reregistration, and RED implementation follow up, may affect the pace of the review process.

E. Chronological Schedule Considering Chemical Classes and Groups. Under the proposed rule, the schedule is generally determined by the chronological order of baseline dates for each case; the oldest cases generally go first. Within this framework, EPA is considering reviewing related cases at the same time. Cases may be related by chemical structure or for other reasons. The chemical classes and groups under consideration are listed in Section III. G of this document. EPA has experienced major program efficiencies in the reregistration program when it has considered groups of cases that are chemically or use related, such as the organophosphates, rodenticides, and soil fumigants. These groupings have facilitated the resolution of technical and regulatory issues of pesticides with commonalities. There are also efficiencies from grouping in collaborating with registrants and other stakeholders for a related group of pesticides to address issues of mutual concern and interest. The grouping approach has helped maximize resource utilization across EPA programs and in working with other federal agencies. Other programs in EPA use a similar approach.

Pesticides in the same chemical class generally have similar toxicity profiles, fate properties ( e. g., persistence and leaching), and use patterns. They also have comparable labeling requirements and are studied together in many open literature articles. Considering members of a class together will facilitate consideration of any new research findings about new common mechanisms of toxicity and completion of any resulting cumulative risk assessments. Considering members of chemical classes and groups in similar time frames will level the playing field among cases in the class; 3 ensure that data call ins, when needed, will be issued around the same time; and permit any needed risk mitigation to occur in similar time frames. Grouping by these classes should also save resources for registrants and other stakeholders. For example, data generation and assessment costs will often be less and the outcomes more refined if registrants pool resources.

The chemical groups ( currently rodenticides and soil fumigants) share similar characteristics as well, including similar major use and exposure patterns and similar toxicity profiles for many cases in the group. For these reasons, OPP has already undertaken simultaneous review of pesticides within the rodenticide and soil fumigant groups during the reregistration program.

The Agency believes that in reviewing one member of a class or group, it will be difficult to avoid considering other members of the class/ group because information about other members of the class will be relevant to the case that is under review. The review of the case will generally need to expand to include a consideration of related cases, requiring more resources and affecting the schedule, unless the cases are reviewed together. Scheduling concurrent review of related cases would plan for this effect.

The majority of cases remain in chronological order. About one third of conventional cases and ten percent of antimicrobial cases are in one of the chemical classes or groups listed in Section III. G. There are currently no case groupings proposed for biochemical or microbial cases.

In the draft schedule, the review of cases in the organophosphate and carbamate classes would begin in the first four years of the program. Each of these classes has at least one case that would be scheduled in the first four years using a schedule sorted only chronologically, so other cases would be advanced to be reviewed in parallel with the regularly scheduled cases. By August 2006, the Agency will have made final cumulative human health risk assessments and risk management decisions for these classes. The area which still requires further consideration is the review of endangered species effects. To capitalize on the ongoing efforts with particular endangered species reviews for individual organophosphates and carbamates, the Agency will continue the efforts and maximize knowledge gained in ongoing reviews. In recent years, EPA and stakeholders have invested significant resources and efforts in gaining a better understanding of these pesticide classes. Addressing their endangered species effects early in registration review will ensure that this investment is not lost or eroded over time. It would benefit all stakeholders to address these remaining issues in a timely and consistent manner across each chemical class.

In addition, EPA intends to schedule synthetic pyrethroids in years four through six of the program. The Agency is currently considering whether the synthetic pyrethroids may share a common mechanism of action. Pending completion of ongoing research and Agency review of outcomes and decisions on appropriate grouping( s), this class may then need early review.

The only antimicrobial class that would be scheduled for the first years of the program is bromine compounds, scheduled for review in the first year. Bromine chloride would be in year one based on the chronological schedule, and there are program efficiencies in advancing the other two members of the class, bromine and inorganic halides, to be considered along with bromine 4 chloride.

EPA presented the concept of considering chemical classes and groups within a chronological schedule to the Pesticide Program Dialogue Committee ( PPDC) Registration Review work group on July 20, 2005 and included summary charts depicting certain chemical classes and groups for conventional chemicals [ http:// www. epa. gov/ oppfead1/ cb/ ppdc/ regisreview/ july05 presentation. pdf]. Members of the public interested in commenting on this presentation may submit comments to the PPDC Registration Review meeting docket: OPP 2004 0014 on EPA's public docket site: http:// docket. epa. gov/ edkpub/ jsp/ pub/ Welcome. jsp. The direct link to this docket is: http:// docket. epa. gov/ edkpub/ do/ EDKStaffCollectionDetailView? objectId= 0b0007d480225e7b III. How to Read This Schedule The draft EPA schedule for registration review is subdivided into four schedules for: ( 1) conventional pesticides; ( 2) antimicrobials; ( 3) biochemicals; and ( 4) microbials. Pesticides are organized into these lists based on their principal uses. Some have secondary uses in other categories.

The draft schedules are sorted in the following order.   The chronological order using baseline date, with the oldest first, is the primary factor.   Members of chemical classes that may be considered in the first four years are moved to these years, and some of the chronologically ordered cases are moved back to make room for these in order to maintain the targeted number of cases opened per year.   Beyond year four, cases are ordered in chronological order. Those that are members of cases are identified, and a projected year for opening their review is shown.   Cases without baseline dates, which are awaiting reregistration decisions, are sorted in ascending order based on registration review case number.

Each draft schedule has the following columns.

A. Registration Review Case Number. The " Reg Rev Case #" column shows the Registration Review case number. As explained in Section 155.42 of the proposed rule, a case comprises one or more active ingredients that are so closely related in chemical structure and toxicological profile as to allow common use of some or all required data for hazard assessment. Following is the procedure EPA used to assign case numbers.   Cases numbered 1 to 4999 are the same numbers as current reregistration case numbers, though active ingredients may have been added to or removed from these original reregistration cases.   5000 to 5999 are new cases for antimicrobials that were not subject to reregistration and that have not been added to an existing reregistration case.   6000 to 6999 are new cases for biochemicals and microbials that were not subject to reregistration and that have not been added to an existing reregistration case. 5   7000 to 7999 are for new conventional chemical cases that were not subject to reregistration and that have not been added to an existing reregistration case.   8000 to 8999 is for reregistration cases that have been divided or restructured.

B. Registration Review Case Name. The " Registration Review Case Name" column shows the case name. A case may contain one or more active ingredients, so a case may appear on more than one row.

C. RED Case Number. The " RED Case #" column provides the current reregistration case number for those pesticides subject to reregistration. A pesticide is subject to rereregistration when products containing the pesticide active ingredient were registered before November 1, 1984. A registration review case may include active ingredients that were subject to reregistration and other active ingredients that were not subject to reregistration. Active ingredients without RED case numbers that have registration review case numbers in the 1 to 4999 range were not subject to reregistration, but have been added to reregistration cases where they are structurally similar to other actives in the case.

D. PC Code. Pesticide Chemical ( PC) Code is an internal EPA Office of Pesticide Programs' number used to identify all active ingredients.

E. CAS #. This is the international CAS ( Chemical Abstracts Service) numbering system for chemicals.

F. Active Ingredient Name. This is the full name of the active ingredient.

G. Chemical Class. " Chem Class" provides codes for the major chemical classes and the soil fumigant and rodenticide groups. See Section II. E of this document for a description of EPA's conceptual approach to consider chemical classes and groups within a chronological schedule.

The current chemical classes and groups are:

BR Bromine Compound CA Carbamate CC Chorine Compound CH Chloroacetanilide DN Dinitroaniline FUM Soil Fumigant group IM Imidazolinone IS Isothiazolone OP Organophosphate PH Phenoxy PY Pyridine QU Quaternary Compound RO Rodenticide group SP Synthetic Pyrethroid SU Sulfonylurea TO Triazole TR Triazine H. Schedule Change. This column contains an asterisk when a case has been removed from its chronologically based position on the list in order to group it with related cases or to achieve other program efficiencies 6 I. Baseline Date. This is the date assigned to the active ingredient to determine its chronological place in the queue for registration review. See Section II. B of this document for a description of baseline dates.

J. First Registered. This is the date on which EPA registered the first product containing the active ingredient.

K. RED Status. Cases for which a RED has been completed will have the status of " Completed." Those with IREDs have " IRED" in this column.

L. RED Status Date. This column shows the RED completion date or shows the IRED date when " IRED" is shown in the RED Status column.

M. Year Scheduled. This is the year of the 15 year Registration Review cycle in which EPA expects to open the docket to initiate review of the case. Except for chemical classes and groups listed above, dates are given only for cases scheduled in the first four years of the program.

N. Case Count. This is a running count of registration review cases.

O. AI Count. This is a running count of active ingredients.

IV. Contact for Questions on Draft Schedule. For questions on the draft schedule, contact Kennan Garvey, EPA Office of Pesticide Programs, Special Review and Reregistration Division, garvey. kennan@ epa. gov, ( 703) 305 7106.

Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
(Sikorsky) Model Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Sikorsky Model S-92A helicopters. This proposed AD would
require installing a main gearbox (MGB) failed pump sensor and vacuum
switch wiring, installing an MGB oil auto bypass system, activating
Aircraft Management System (AMS) 7.1 software to show a new visual
warning, and installing updated enhanced ground proximity warning
system (EGPWS) software that includes an aural annunciation of a
complete oil pressure loss condition. This proposed AD would also
require inserting a Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) Supplement into the
applicable RFM. This proposed AD is prompted by investigation results
of in-service oil leakage incidents. The proposed actions are intended
to alert and prevent MGB oil loss, which could lead to failure of the
MGB and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Discussion

    We propose to adopt a new AD for Sikorsky Model S-92A helicopters.
This proposed AD would require, depending on the helicopter's serial
number, installing an MGB failed pump sensor and vacuum switch wiring,
installing an MGB oil auto bypass system, activating AMS 7.1 software
to show a new MGB ``OIL OUT'' visual warning, updating the EGPWS
software to include an aural annunciation of a complete oil pressure
loss condition, and inserting an RFM Supplement into the applicable
RFM.
    This proposed AD is prompted by one accident and one in-service oil
leakage incident where it was discovered during subsequent
investigations that the pilot failed to activate the bypass valve
within 5 seconds of the oil pressure dropping below 35 psi, as required
by the RFM. Both accident and incident investigations found that the
pilot activated the bypass valve well beyond the 5 seconds.
    The manual operation of the bypass valve within 5 seconds of the
oil pressure dropping below 35 psi has proven not to be a realistic
expectation. The MGB failed pump sensor and vacuum switch wiring is a
system that will detect an oil pressure drop in the input module and
alert the pilot if the low oil pressure is the result of a failed oil
pump. The MGB oil auto bypass system eliminates the need for the pilot
to manually switch the bypass valve when the oil pressure drops below
35 psi. The AMS software upgrade is to automate the bypass valve and to
alert the pilot that the low oil pressure may be the result of a failed
oil pump. Knowing the low oil pressure is the result of a failed oil
pump and not due to oil leakage will allow the pilot to switch the
bypass valve out of bypass to cool the oil. When the oil is not cooled,
the hot oil may cause the input module seals to fail allowing an
excessive amount of oil to leak resulting in failure of the MGB. There
have been several incidents of a pump failure where the oil had the
potential to reach a high enough temperature to damage the seals. The
EGPWS software change provides a new aural warning of a complete oil
pressure loss.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all known relevant
information and determined that an unsafe condition exists and is
likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of this same type
design.

Related Service Information

    Sikorsky has issued the following service information:
     Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. 92-63-024C, Revision C,
dated October 7, 2011, for certain serial-numbered helicopters
specifies installing a main module input gear box switch assembly and
modifying the MGB vacuum switch wiring. Before making the modification,
the ASB states an AMS 4.1 or greater version must first be installed
and the following Customer Service Notices (CSN) completed: CSN 92-
068C, Revision C, dated March 27, 2012, and CSN 92-069A, Revision A,
dated November 10, 2011.
     ASB 92-63-027, Basic Issue, dated January 21, 2013, for
certain serial-numbered helicopters specifies installing an MGB oil
pressure automatic bypass system, activating an MGB ``OIL OUT'' visual
warning in the AMS 7.1 software, and performing systems operational
checkout procedures. Before or when installing the MGB oil pressure
auto bypass system, the ASB states the following must be complied with:
CSN 92-089, Basic Issue, dated January 10, 2013; ASB 92-34-002, Basic
Issue, dated January 21, 2013; and ASB 92-63-024C, Revision C, dated
October 7, 2011.
     ASB 92-34-002, Basic Issue, dated January 21, 2013, for
certain serial-numbered helicopters with certain part-numbered EGPWS
installed, specifies installing EGPWS updated software version 030,
which adds an MGB ``OIL OUT'' aural warning, in accordance with
Honeywell International, Inc., Service Bulletin 965-1595-34-23,
Revision 0, dated March 13, 2012. Before or during installation of the
updated software, the ASB states the following must be complied with:
ASB 92-63-027, Basic Issue, dated January 21, 2013, and CSN 92-089,
Basic Issue, dated January 10, 2013.

Proposed AD Requirements

    The proposed AD would require, within 500 hours time-in-service
(TIS):
     Inserting a copy of the Sikorsky S-92A RFM Supplement No.
45, Part I, dated July 30, 2012, into the RFM.
     For certain serial-numbered helicopters, installing an MGB
failed pump sensor and MGB vacuum switch wiring.
     For certain other serial-numbered helicopters, installing
an MGB auto bypass system, activating AMS 7.1 software, and installing
EGPWS software version 030.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    This AD proposes compliance within 500 hours TIS, and the service
information specifies certain dates and calendar times.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 44 helicopters of
U.S. Registry.
    We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order
to comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per hour. The
work hours and required parts costs are estimated as follows:
     .5 work hour to insert the RFM Supplement into the RFM.
     8 work hours plus $2,200 for required parts to install an
MGB failed pump sensor;
     4 work hours plus $250 for required parts to install MGB
vacuum switch wiring;
     71.7 work hours plus $4,100 for required parts to install
an MGB oil pressure auto bypass system;
     1 work hour to activate AMS 7.1; and
     1 work hour plus $500 for required parts to install EGPWS
software.
    The total cost of compliance for all actions would be about $14,377
per helicopter and $632,588 for the U.S. fleet.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe
condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in
this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have 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.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-R10-OW-2014-0505; FRL-9922-23-Region-10]

Notice of Status Update on the Proposed Determination for the
Pebble Deposit Area, Southwest Alaska

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of status update.

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

SUMMARY: On July 21, 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed
Determination, under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act, to restrict
the use of certain waters in the South Fork Koktuli River, North Fork
Koktuli River, and Upper Talarik Creek watersheds in Southwest Alaska
as disposal sites for dredged or fill material associated with mining
the Pebble deposit, a copper-, gold-, and molybdenum-bearing ore body.
On September 19, 2014, EPA published in the Federal Register a notice
extending the time period to either withdraw the Proposed Determination
or to prepare the Recommended Determination until no later than
February 4, 2015. As part of ongoing litigation brought by the Pebble
Limited Partnership, on November 25, 2014, a Federal District Court
Judge issued a preliminary injunction that requires EPA to stop all
work connected to the 404(c) proceeding, including reviewing and
considering public comments. EPA is complying with the court's order
and as such is not taking any steps to withdraw the Proposed
Determination or to prepare a Recommended Determination while the
preliminary injunction is in place.

    Dated: January 21, 2015.

The Clean Air Act requires that gasoline dispensed in certain areas with severe air quality problems be reformulated to reduce toxic and ozone forming ( smog) emissions. The Act also requires that in the process of producing reformulated gasoline ( RFG) , dirty components removed in the reformulation process not be " dumped" into the remainder of the country's gasoline, known as conventional gasoline. Regulations at 40 CFR part 80 established standards for RFG and CG and established reporting and recordkeeping requirements for demonstrating compliance and as an aid to enforcement.
