Clarification of Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

container of the product being exported at all times when it is shipped
or held for shipment in the United States. Collateral labeling will
ensure the availability of the required labeling information, while
allowing pesticide products and devices that are intended solely for
export to be labeled for use in and consistent with the applicable
requirements of the importing country.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 11, 2014.

by providing collateral labeling that is either attached to the
immediate product being exported or that accompanies the shipping
container of the product being exported at all times when it is shipped
or held for shipment in the United States. Collateral labeling will
ensure the availability of the required labeling information, while
allowing pesticide products and devices that are intended solely for
export to be labeled for use in and consistent with the applicable
requirements of the importing country.

D. What are the impacts of this action?

    There are no costs associated with this action, and the benefits
provided are related to avoiding potential costs. Without these
labeling provisions, registrants would be required to place export-
related labeling on the immediate package of each individual pesticide
product in a shipping container that is intended solely for export.
According to stakeholders, the inability to use the labeling method
allowed under the previous regulations could significantly increase
their costs and create trade barriers.

II. Background

A. The April 30, 2014 Direct Final Rule

    Industry stakeholders subsequently brought to the Agency's
attention their concern that removing the term ``supplemental
labeling'' resulted in the removal of a provision stating that such
supplemental labeling can be attached to a shipping container holding
export

pesticides or devices rather than to each individual product container
in a shipment. They stated that the inability of registrants to use
``supplemental labeling'' in that manner could create trade barriers
and increase costs. The purpose of the direct final rule EPA published
in the Federal Register of April 30, 2014 (79 FR 24347) (FRL-9909-82)
was to address those concerns as expeditiously as possible.
    As indicated in the direct final rule, EPA now believes that the
term ``supplemental labeling'' is not the appropriate term to describe
the material or documentation used to meet the requirements of the
export labeling rules. To more accurately describe the materials other
than ``labels'' that are acceptable for meeting these requirements, EPA
believes that a better term is ``collateral labeling.'' EPA has already
described collateral labeling in the Label Review Manual (LRM), p. 3-2
(see http://www.epa.gov/oppfead1/labeling/lrm/chap-03.pdf), as follows:

    Bulletins, leaflets, circulars, brochures, data sheets, flyers
or other written, printed or graphic matter which are referred to on
the label or which are to accompany the product are known in Agency
practice as ``collateral labeling.'' Such labeling is subject to
applicable requirements of FIFRA and the Agency's regulations.

Accordingly, the direct final rule used the term ``collateral
labeling'' in restoring the ability of exporters to comply with export
labeling requirements through materials that are not attached to each
individual export product's immediate container. The direct final rule
provided amendments for revising existing 40 CFR 168.66 to remove the
reference to 40 CFR 156.10(a)(4), and to restore the inadvertently
eliminated provisions that allowed exporters to use such collateral
labeling attached to, or accompanying, the product shipping container
of the export pesticide at all times when shipped or held for shipment
in the United States. The direct final rule also restructures 40 CFR
part 168, subpart D, by moving the text in Sec.  168.68 and some of the
text in Sec.  168.66 to new Sec.  168.65.

B. Summary of the April 6, 2011 Proposed Rule

    In the Federal Register of April 6, 2011 (76 FR 18995) (FRL-8862-
2), EPA issued a proposed rule to clarify, restructure, and add
specificity to labeling regulations for the export of unregistered
pesticide products and devices. Additionally, that proposed rule
explicitly requires labeling to accompany the unregistered export
pesticide product or device at all times, even when such products are
being shipped between registered establishments operated by the same
producer.

C. Public Comments on the April 6, 2011 Proposed Rule

    Six sets of comments were submitted. Two of the commenters pointed
out several inconsistencies in the use of the terms ``label,''
``labeling,'' and ``supplemental labeling'' in the proposed rule. One
of those commenters also urged ``that all labeling requirements should
be in compliance with existing regulations under 40 CFR 156.'' The
comments are available in the docket under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2009-0607.
    EPA analyzed the comments and prepared a response to comments
document, which is available in the docket under document ID number
EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0607-0016. As part of analyzing the comment on
inconsistencies in the use of the terms ``label,'' ``labeling,'' and
``supplemental labeling,'' EPA referred to FIFRA's definitions of
``label'' and ``labeling.'' Section 2(p)(1) of FIFRA defines label as
``the written, printed, or graphic matter on, or attached to, the
pesticide or device or any of its containers or wrappers.'' Under FIFRA
section 2(p)(2), labeling is a more inclusive term which includes
labels as well as ``all other written, printed, or graphic matter''
that accompanies the product at any time, or to which reference is made
on a label or in literature accompanying the pesticide or device.
Because the two terms are not interchangeable, EPA agreed that
inconsistent use could create confusion. Thus, as EPA began to write
the regulatory text for the final rule, the Agency carefully evaluated
the regulatory text for possibly confusing uses of the terms ``label''
and ``labeling.''
    During that evaluation, and bearing in mind the comment that ``all
labeling requirements should be in compliance with existing regulations
under 40 CFR 156,'' EPA analyzed proposed Sec.  168.66(b). Proposed
Sec.  168.66(b) specified that ``the required label information may be
fully met by'' and then provided several examples of ways to provide
the required label information. One of the examples referred to
``supplemental labeling.'' At that time, EPA determined to provide a
reference to the existing label regulations in 40 CFR part 156, instead
of providing examples of ways to meet the required label information.
Specifically, EPA referred to 40 CFR 156.10(a)(4), believing that
provision would provide appropriate and accurate information.

D. The January 18, 2013 Final Rule

    The final rule entitled ``Labeling of Pesticide Products and
Devices for Export; Clarification of Requirements'' published in the
Federal Register of January 18, 2013 (78 FR 4073) (FRL-9360-8). This
final rule was effective on March 19, 2013, with a compliance date of
January 21, 2014.

III. Withdrawal of the April 30, 2014 Direct Final Rule

    In the preamble to the direct final rule, EPA explained the
Agency's reasons for these amendments, and that we would withdraw that
direct final rule if written adverse comment were received within 30
days of the publication of that direct final rule. Since EPA received
written adverse comments, elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register, EPA has withdrawn the direct final rule, and the direct final
rule will not take effect.
    In accordance with the procedures described in the April 30, 2014
direct final rule, EPA is publishing this proposed rule.

IV. Issues Raised by the Adverse Comments

    EPA received two written adverse comments in response to the direct
final rule. Both commenters indicated their disagreement with EPA's
approach on the use of collateral labeling. Their comments indicated
their belief that individual pesticide products should be properly
labeled, even if intended solely for export. One commenter indicated
that this would only ``benefit the large pesticide producers, allowing
them to cut the cost of production by not properly labeling
everything.'' The other commenter indicated that labeling ``is critical
to safe and rational use of pesticides.''
    EPA believes that both commenters misinterpreted the intent of the
direct final rule and interpreted the direct final rule as removing or
eliminating requirements. The amendments specified in the direct final
rule do not remove or eliminate label requirements for individual
pesticide products or devices that are intended solely for export. The
amendments would have simply clarified that the label requirements for
products intended for export can be met with labeling on the individual
products with the addition of collateral labeling attached to either
the product or the product shipment container.
    Typically, products that are manufactured in the United States for
export bear a label which meets the requirements of the importing
country.

Since that label may not meet all the FIFRA labeling requirements
contained in 40 CFR part 168, the regulations previously allowed for
these products to meet those requirements by labeling attached to the
shipping container. As an example, a shrink-wrapped pallet of cartons
would have only one FIFRA export label attached to the shrink-wrap. A
pallet of unwrapped cartons, on the other hand, would have FIFRA export
labels attached to each carton. In both cases, the individual products
in those cartons are individually labeled for use in the importing
country and in compliance with the applicable labeling requirements of
that importing country. EPA believes that collateral labeling is
appropriate for shipping containers holding pesticide products and
devices that are intended solely for export because it ensures the
availability of the information provided by the FIFRA export label
requirements while those products are in transit in the United States.
    The amendments specified in the direct final rule were not to
establish a new or substantively different requirement from that which
existed until 2013, when a final rule inadvertently deleted the
applicable provisions. After considering these adverse comments, EPA
has determined no changes are needed, and is proposing the same
regulatory text as that in the April 30, 2014 direct final rule.

V. FIFRA Review Requirements

    In accordance with FIFRA section 25(a), EPA previously submitted
the draft proposed rule to the Secretary of Agriculture (USDA), the
FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP), and the appropriate
Congressional Committees. On February 10, 2014, the FIFRA SAP waived
its review of this proposed rule because the changes ``are
administrative in nature and do not contain scientific issues that
require the SAP's consideration.'' On March 12, 2014, USDA waived
review of this proposed rule, because this action merely ``corrects the
regulatory text.''

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
the terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
was not, therefore, submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    According to PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., an agency may not conduct
or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of
information that requires OMB approval under PRA, unless it has been
approved by OMB and displays a currently valid OMB control number. The
OMB control numbers for EPA regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and
included on the related collection instrument or form, as applicable.
    The information collection requirements associated with reporting
under 40 CFR part 168 have already been approved by OMB pursuant to PRA
under OMB control number 2070-0027 (EPA ICR No. 0161). This proposed
rule is not expected to involve an increase in information collection
activities. There are no additional burdens imposed by this proposed
rule that requires additional review or approval by OMB.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action, if finalized as proposed, will not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. In making this determination, the
impact of concern is any significant adverse economic impact on small
entities, because the primary purpose of an initial regulatory
flexibility analysis is to identify and address regulatory alternatives
``which minimize any significant economic impact of the rule on small
entities'' 5 U.S.C. 603. Thus, an agency may certify that a rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities if the rule has no net burden effect on the small entities
subject to the rule. As indicated previously, EPA is restoring a
provision that was inadvertently removed from the regulation. We have
therefore concluded that this action will have no net regulatory burden
for all directly regulated small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. This action imposes no enforceable duty on any
State, local, or Tribal governments, because no State, local, or Tribal
government is known to produce, transport, formulate, package, or
export unregistered pesticide products or devices. As indicated
previously, EPA is restoring a provision that was inadvertently removed
from the regulation.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action will not have substantial direct effect on 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999).

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications because it is
expected to only affect producers, transporters, formulators,
packagers, and exporters of unregistered pesticide products and
devices. Since no Indian Tribal government is known to produce,
transport, formulate, package, or export unregistered pesticide
products or devices, this action has no tribal implications.
Accordingly, the requirements of Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000) does not apply to this proposed rule.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because this action does not address environmental
health or safety risks disproportionately affecting children.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001), because this action is not expected to affect energy
supply, distribution, or use.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    Since this action does not involve any technical standards, NTTAA
section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272 note, does not apply to this action.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    EPA has determined that this action will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or

environmental effects on minority or low-income populations because it
increases the level of environmental protection for all affected
populations without having any disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects on any population, including any
minority or low-income population. As such, this action does not entail
special considerations of environmental justice related issues as
delineated by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS, and has no
substantially similar U.S.-certified counterpart, shall be refused
admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that the
motor vehicle has safety features that comply with, or are capable of
being altered to comply with, all applicable FMVSS based on destructive
test data or such other evidence as NHTSA decides to be adequate.
    Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR Part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
    101 Innovations, LLC, of Ferndale, Washington (101
Innovations)(Registered Importer 07-350) has petitioned NHTSA to decide
whether nonconforming 1988-1994 ALPINA B12 5.0 model passenger cars are
eligible for importation into the United States. 101 Innovations
believes that these vehicles are capable of being modified to meet all
applicable FMVSS.
    In its petition, 101 Innovations stated its belief that
nonconforming 1988-1994 ALPINA B12 5.0 model passenger cars are
substantially similar to both the U.S. version 1988-1994 BMW 7-series
(e32) passenger cars and the nonconforming 1988-1994 BMW 7-series (e32)
passenger cars that are eligible for importation by Registered
Importers under vehicle eligibility number VSP-299 and VSA-28. 101
Innovations explained that the subject 1988-1994 ALPINA B12 5.0 model
passenger cars were originally manufactured by BMW as 7-series (e32)
passenger cars and were subsequently altered by ALPINA Burkard
Bovensiepen GmbH. 101 Innovations additionally explained that ALPINA
Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH assigned new VINs to the altered vehicles
prior to the vehicles being sold as ALPINA brand vehicles in Europe and
other regions outside of the United States. While there may be
similarities between the 1988-1994 ALPINA B12 5.0 model passenger cars
and the 1988-1994 BMW 7-series (e32) passenger cars that BMW has
manufactured for importation into and sale in the United States, NHTSA
has decided that due to the vehicle and VIN alterations, the 1988-1994
ALPINA B12 5.0 model passenger cars cannot be regarded as substantially
similar to 1988-1994 BMW 7-series (e32) passenger cars for the purpose
of establishing import eligibility under section 30141(a)(1)(A).
Therefore, we will construe 101 Innovation's petition as a petition
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), seeking to establish import
eligibility for the 1988-1994 ALPINA B12 5.0 model passenger cars on
the basis that they have safety features that comply with, or are
capable of being modified to comply with, the FMVSS based on
destructive test data or such other evidence that NHTSA decides to be
adequate.
    101 Innovations submitted information with its petition intended to
demonstrate that non-U.S. certified 1988-1994 ALPINA B12 5.0 model
passenger cars conform to many FMVSS and are capable of being altered
to comply with all other standards to which they were not originally
manufactured to conform.
    Specifically, the petitioner claims, based on a comparison with the
U.S. certified 1988-1994 BMW 7-series (e32) passenger cars, that non-
U.S. certified 1988-1994 ALPINA B12 5.0 model passenger cars, as
originally manufactured, conform to: Standard Nos. 102 Transmission
Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking
Effect, 103 Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems, 104 Windshield
Wiping and Washing Systems, 105 Hydraulic Brake Systems, 106 Brake
Hoses, 107 Reflecting Surfaces, 109 New Pneumatic Tires, 113 Hood Latch
System, 116 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids, 124 Accelerator Control
Systems, 201 Occupant Protection in Interior Impact, 202 Head
Restraints, 204 Steering Control Rearward Displacement, 205 Glazing
Materials, 206 Door Locks and Door Retention Components, 207 Seating
Systems, 210 Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages, 211 Wheel Nuts, Wheel Discs
and Hub Caps, 212 Windshield Mounting, 214 Side Impact Protection, 216
Roof Crush Resistance, 219 Windshield Zone Intrusion, 301 Fuel System
Integrity, and 302 Flammability of Interior Materials.
    In addition, the petitioner claims that the vehicles comply with
the Bumper Standard found in 49 CFR part 581.
    The petitioner also contends that the vehicles are capable of being
altered to meet the following standards, in the manner indicated:
    Standard No. 101 Controls and Displays: Installation of U.S.-model
instrument cluster and U.S.-version software.
    Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated
Equipment: Installation of U.S.-model: (a) Headlamps; (b) front and
rear side marker lamps; and (c) rear high mounted stop lamp and
associated wiring.
    Standard No. 110 Tire Selection and Rims: Installation on the
vehicle of a tire information placard.
    Standard No. 111 Rearview Mirrors: Installation of a U.S.-model
passenger side rearview mirror, or inscription of the required warning
statement on the face of that mirror.
    Standard No. 114 Theft Protection: Installation of U.S.-version
software and a U.S.-model ignition switch to meet the requirements of
this standard.
    Standard No. 115 Vehicle Identification: Installation of a vehicle
identification plate near the left

windshield post to meet the requirements of this standard.
    Standard No. 118 Power-Operated Window, Partition, and Roof Panel
Systems: Inspection of all vehicles and modification or deactivation of
any remote activation features that cause the system not to conform to
the standard.
    Standard No. 208 Occupant Crash Protection: (a) Installation of
U.S.-model knee bolsters; and (b) inspection of all vehicles and
replacement of any non U.S.-model air bag system components, including
all warning systems, warning labels and telltales, with U.S.-model
components on vehicles not already so equipped.
    Standard No. 209 Seat Belt Assemblies: Inspection of all vehicles
and replacement of any non U.S.-model seat belt components on vehicles
not already so equipped.
    All comments received before the close of business on the closing
date indicated above will be considered, and will be available for
examination in the docket at the above addresses both before and after
that date. To the extent possible, comments filed after the closing
date will also be considered. Notice of final action on the petition
will be published in the Federal Register pursuant to the authority
indicated below.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A) and (b)(1); 49 CFR 593.8;
delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63762; File No. SR-CBOE-2010-109]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Order Approving Notice of Proposed Rule Change Regarding
Rule 4.20--Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Program

January 25, 2011.

I. Introduction

    On December 2, 2010, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend CBOE Rule 4.20 to
require all Trading Permit Holders or TPH organizations to conduct
independent testing during the first calendar year of becoming a
Trading Permit Holder or TPH organization. The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal Register on December 22, 2010.\3\
The Commission did not receive any comments on the proposal. This order
approves the proposed change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities and Exchange Act Release No. 63559 (December
16, 2010), 75 FR 80560 (December 22, 2010) (``Notice'')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Background

    CBOE proposed to amend CBOE Rule 4.20, Anti-Money Laundering
Compliance Program, to require all Trading Permit Holders or TPH
organizations to conduct independent testing during the first calendar
year of becoming a Trading Permit Holder or TPH organization. CBOE Rule
4.20 generally requires annual (on a calendar-year basis) independent
testing for compliance. However, if the Trading Permit Holder or TPH
organization does not execute transactions for customers or otherwise
hold customer accounts, or does not act as an introducing broker with
respect to customer accounts (e.g., engages solely in proprietary
trading or conducts business only with other broker-dealers), such
``independent testing'' is required every two years (on a calendar-year
basis). The Exchange believes that it is prudent to amend this rule to
require that all Trading Permit Holders or TPH organizations conduct
testing during the first calendar year of the Trading Permit Holder's
or TPH organization's existence to ensure anti-money laundering
compliance is in place and established at the outset of the Trading
Permit Holder's or TPH organization's existence, even if they would
thereafter conduct such testing every two years.
    CBOE Interpretations and Policies .01 continues to provide that all
Trading Permit Holders should undertake more frequent testing than
required by Rule 4.20 if circumstances warrant (e.g., should the
business mix of the Trading Permit Holder or TPH organization
materially change, in the event of a merger or acquisition, in light of
a systemic weakness uncovered via testing of the anti-money laundering
program, or in response to any other ``red flags'').\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57044 (December 27,
2007), 73 FR 2 (January 3, 2008) (SR-CBOE-2007-130).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As explained in the Notice, the Exchange believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)\5\ of the Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5),\6\ in particular, in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open
market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act.

III. Discussion of Comment Letters

    The Commission did not receive any comment letters regarding the
proposed rule change.

IV. Commission Findings

    The Commission has carefully reviewed the proposed rule change and
finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements
of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a
national securities association.\7\ In particular, the Commission finds
that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5), of
the Act,\8\ which, among other things, requires that CBOE rules be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\9\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CBOE-2010-109), be, and
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\10\
