Attached are the Product and Residue Chemistry chapters for the Dinocap Reregistration Eligibility Decision ( RED) Document. The information contained within this document was reviewed by Dynamac Corporation under the supervision of RRB1/ HED. The data assessment has undergone secondary review in the HED and has been revised to reflect Agency policies.

HED makes the following conclusions with respect to the Product and Residue chemistry chapters: 2 Product Chemistry One product, the Rohm and Haas 92.5% T/ TGAI, is subject to a reregistration eligibility decision. Most pertinent data requirements are satisfied except data concerning UV/ visible absorption ( OPPTS 830.7050) are required. Provided that the registrant submits the data required and either certifies that the suppliers of beginning materials and the manufacturing process have not changed since the last comprehensive product chemistry review or submits a complete updated product chemistry data package, HED has no objections to the reregistration of dinocap with respect to product chemistry data requirements.

Residue Chemistry There are currently no registered food/ feed uses of dinocap in the U. S. The established dinocap tolerances for food and feed commodities have been revoked except those for apples and grapes. Rohm and Haas Company, the basic producer, intends to support tolerances for dinocap residues in/ on apples and grapes to permit legal importation of these commodities into the U. S.

Tolerances for dinocap are currently expressed in terms of combined negligible residues of a fungicide and insecticide that is a mixture of 2,4 dinitro 6 octylphenyl crotonate and 2,6 dinitro 4 octylphenyl crotonate in/ on apples and grapes at 0.1 ppm [ 40 CFR § 180.341( a)].

To fulfill reregistration requirements, the registrant must submit a description of the uses of dinocap in all foreign countries in which dinocap is marketed for use on apples and grapes that may be exported to the U. S. It is preferable to submit copies of the labels ( which have been translated to English). The information must include, but is not limited to, the maximum single application rate, the maximum annual application rate, application timing ( as it relates to the plant growth stage), retreatment interval( s), application tank mix preparation, volume of spray mix per unit area, application equipment, and the pre harvest interval ( PHI). Application rates should be expressed in units of pounds of active ingredient per acre ( or kilograms of active ingredient per hectare).

The qualitative nature of the residue in plants is not adequately understood. To fulfill reregistration requirements, the registrant must submit either an apple or a grape metabolism study to determine the qualitative metabolic fate of dinocap on a fruit crop when it has been applied under conditions similar to the foreign uses.

The qualitative nature of the residue in livestock is not adequately understood. Because wet apple pomace is a livestock feed item, the registrant must submit a ruminant metabolism study to fulfill reregistration requirements. If Rohm and Haas wishes to request a waiver for the ruminant metabolism study, they must convincingly document that it is unlikely that imported apples or wet apple pomace would be significant feed items in the U. S. or exporting countries and/ or that there are not significant imports of livestock commodities from the exporting countries into the U. S. A poultry metabolism study is not required because there are no poultry feed items derived from the imported crops for which dinocap uses are being supported. 3 An adequate enforcement method exists; however, the method must be revised to remove the use of benzene. Additionally, when the required plant metabolism study has been received, and the residues of concern have been determined, the Agency may require new plant residue analytical method( s) for the purposes of data collection and tolerance enforcement. The requirement for animal residue analytical methods is reserved pending submission/ review of the required ruminant metabolism study and determination of the need for animal tolerances.

No acceptable storage stability data are available for plant commodities to fulfill reregistration requirements. The registrant must submit data pertaining to the storage stability of residues of the parent and all residues of regulatory and/ or risk concern in/ on apples and grapes. Storage stability studies must reflect the storage conditions and intervals of samples used in the required plant metabolism and magnitude of the residue studies. Storage stability data are not needed for analytes not known to be labile or volatile if samples are stored for less than 4 6 months for the metabolism study or 30 days for magnitude of the residue studies.

The requirement for storage stability data for animal commodities is reserved pending submission/ review of the required ruminant metabolism study and determination of the need for animal tolerances.

The reregistration requirements for magnitude of the residue in/ on imported apples and grapes have not been addressed. Field residue data must be submitted reflecting the maximum use patterns for representative dinocap formulations on apples and grapes to be exported to the U. S. It is recommended that the registrant submit a protocol before generating field trial data for these commodities.

The registrant must also conduct processing studies on apples and grapes. The Agency has determined that processing studies must be conducted to support import tolerances if the imported commodities are likely to be processed once they have been imported into the U. S. or if processed commodities are imported into the U. S.. In the required processing studies, the raw agricultural commodity ( RAC) should be processed in a manner simulating typical commercial practice. The RAC should have detectable residues so that a concentration factor may be calculated. Exaggerated rates and/ or reduced preharvest intervals may be necessary to ensure that the RAC to be processed contains sufficient residues. The registrant is advised to consult the Agency if they believe processing studies are not necessary for imported apples or grapes.

The requirement for a ruminant feeding study is reserved pending submission/ review of the requested ruminant metabolism study and determination of terminal residues of concern. A poultry feeding study is not required because there are no poultry feed items derived from the imported crops for which dinocap uses are being supported.

PRODUCT CHEMISTRY CONSIDERATIONS PC Codes 036001, 36002, and 36003; Case No. 2200 DESCRIPTION OF CHEMICAL Dinocap ( PC Code 036001) is the common name for a mixture of 2,4 dinitro 6 octylphenyl crotonate, 2,6 dinitro 4 octylphenyl crotonate, and nitrooctylphenols ( principally dinitro), in which the octyl groups are a mixture of 1 methylheptyl, 1 ethylhexyl, and 1 propylpentyl isomers. The other two active ingredients included in the case, which pertain to specific components of the dinocap mixture, 2,4 dinitro 6 octylphenyl crotonate ( PC Code 036002) and 2,6 dinitro 4 octylphenyl crotonate ( PC Code 036003), have been canceled. Dinocap has limited use as a miticide, but its main pesticidal classification is as a fungicide for the control of powdery mildew on ornamental plants. There are currently no registered food/ feed uses of dinocap in the U. S. The established dinocap tolerances for food and feed commodities have been revoked except for those for apples and grapes. Rohm and Haas Company intends to support tolerances for dinocap residues in/ on apples and grapes to permit legal importation of these commodities into the U. S.

Empirical Formula: C18H24N2O6 Molecular Weight: 364.39 CAS Registry No.: 39300 45 3 PC Code: 036001 5 IDENTIFICATION OF ACTIVE INGREDIENT Dinocap is a dark brown liquid with a boiling point of 138 140 C at 0.05 mm Hg, bulk density of 1.10 g/ mL, vapor pressure of 3.33 x 10 6 Pa at 25 C, and octanol/ water partition coefficient ( Pow) of 34,300 ( log Pow = 4.54) at 20 C. Dinocap is practically insoluble in water (< 0.1 ppm) and is incompatible with oil and oil based sprays. Dinocap is soluble in most organic solvents, including acetone, heptane, methanol, and octane.

MANUFACTURING USE PRODUCTS A search of the Reference Files System ( REFS) conducted 12/ 22/ 99 identified a single dinocap manufacturing use product ( MP) registered under PC Code 036001: the Rohm and Haas Company 92.5% technical ( T; EPA Reg. No. 707 95). Because dinocap is a List B chemical, only the 92.5% T/ TGAI is subject to a reregistration eligibility decision.

REGULATORY BACKGROUND The Dinocap Phase 4 Review dated 1/ 30/ 91 by J. Smith determined that additional data were required concerning stability, octanol/ water partition coefficient, and vapor pressure ( OPPTS 830.6313, 7550, and 7950); all other product chemistry data submissions were determined to be acceptable for Phase 5 review. Most of the submissions cited in the Phase 4 Review were reviewed in support of a revised manufacturing process for the dinocap technical ( CBRS No. 3352, 3/ 10/ 88, R. Loranger).

The current status of the product chemistry data requirements for the dinocap T/ TGAI is presented in the attached data summary table. Refer to this table for a listing of the outstanding product chemistry data requirements.

CONCLUSIONS All pertinent data requirements are satisfied for the Rohm and Haas 92.5% T/ TGAI, except that additional data are required concerning UV/ visible absorption ( OPPTS 830.7050). Provided that the registrant submits the data required in the attached data summary table for the T/ TGAI, and either certifies that the suppliers of beginning materials and the manufacturing process have not changed since the last comprehensive product chemistry review or submits a complete updated product chemistry data package, HED has no objections to the reregistration of dinocap with respect to product chemistry data requirements. 6 AGENCY MEMORANDA CITED IN THIS DOCUMENT CBRS No( s).: 3352 Subject: EPA Reg.

Products containing the two individual isomers, which pertain to specific components of the dinocap mixture, 2,4 dinitro 6 octylphenyl crotonate ( PC Code 036002) and 2,6 dinitro 4 octylphenyl crotonate ( PC Code 036003), have been canceled. Dinocap has limited use as a miticide, but its main pesticidal classification is as a fungicide for the control of powdery mildew on ornamental plants. There are currently no registered food/ feed uses of dinocap in the U. S. The established dinocap tolerances for food and feed commodities have been revoked except for those for apples and grapes. Rohm and Haas Company, the basic producer, intends to support tolerances for dinocap residues in/ on apples and grapes to permit legal importation of these commodities into the U. S. This document presents an overall and up to date Residue Chemistry Science Assessment with respect to the reregistration of dinocap, and specifically addresses data requirements for support of import tolerances on apples and grapes.

REGULATORY BACKGROUND Dinocap, a List B chemical, was the subject of a Phase 4 Review dated 1/ 30/ 91 and a Data Call In Notice ( DCI) issued 9/ 10/ 91. At that time Rohm and Haas had indicated that they intended to amend registrations to drop all food/ feed uses for end use products ( EPs). In the Phase 4 Review, data were required under residue chemistry guidelines pending submission of the required amendment forms and revised labels for all EPs confirming that food/ feed uses had been removed. In their 90 day response to the Phase 4 DCI ( DP Barcode D178967, 7/ 14/ 92, F. Fort), Rohm and Haas requested a waiver of residue chemistry data requirements based on their intention to delete all food/ feed uses from their product labels. The registrant subsequently requested that the Agency retain dinocap tolerances for apples and grapes as import tolerances ( DP Barcode D198079, 2/ 24/ 94, M. Metzger). Following cancellation by Rohm and Haas of all dinocap food/ feed uses registered in the U. S., the Agency revoked all dinocap tolerances except those for apples and grapes ( 63 FR 206, 10/ 26/ 98).

Tolerances for dinocap are currently expressed in terms of combined negligible residues of a fungicide and insecticide that is a mixture of 2,4 dinitro 6 octylphenyl crotonate and 2,6 dinitro 4 octylphenyl crotonate in/ on apples and grapes at 0.1 ppm [ 40 CFR § 180.341( a)].

Dinocap was the subject of a Special Review because of Agency concerns about developmental toxicity. The PD 1 was published on 1/ 9/ 85 ( 50 FR 1119) and the PD 2/ 3 on 10/ 29/ 86 ( 51 FR 2 39577). Special Review was concluded with the publication of the PD 4 on 2/ 6/ 89 ( 54 FR 5908). In the PD 4, the Agency required that all dinocap labels be revised to include appropriate health hazard statements and to require the use of additional protective clothing and equipment for mixer/ loaders and applicators.

A tabular summary of the residue chemistry science assessments for reregistration of dinocap is presented in Table A.

SUMMARY OF SCIENCE FINDINGS GLN 860.1200: Directions for Use A search of the Agency's Reference Files System ( REFS) on 10/ 04/ 01, indicated that there are no registered dinocap EPs with food/ feed uses. The only active products containing dinocap are registered to Rohm and Haas for use on ornamental crops.

To fulfill reregistration requirements, the registrant must submit a description of the uses of dinocap in all foreign countries in which dinocap is marketed for use on apples and grapes that may be exported to the U. S. It is preferable to submit copies of the labels ( which have been translated to English). The information must include, but is not limited to, the maximum single application rate, the maximum annual application rate, application timing ( as it relates to the plant growth stage), retreatment interval( s), application tank mix preparation, volume of spray mix per unit area, application equipment, and the pre harvest interval ( PHI). Application rates should be expressed in units of pounds of active ingredient per acre ( or kilograms of active ingredient per hectare).

GLN 860.1300: Nature of the Residue  Plants The qualitative nature of the residue in plants is not adequately understood. To fulfill reregistration requirements, the registrant must submit either an apple or a grape metabolism study to determine the qualitative metabolic fate of dinocap on a fruit crop when it has been applied under conditions similar to the foreign uses.

In conjunction with a defunct petition ( PP# 9F0847) for the establishment of dinocap tolerances on cucurbits, pome fruits, small fruits, stone fruits, and strawberries, the results of a series of cucumber metabolism studies were reported ( 9/ 15/ 69 memo of E. Gunderson). Based on separate studies performed on rind and pulp, dinocap residues were reported to be primarily surface in nature with terminal residues consisting of dinitrooctylphenyl crotonates and related dinitrooctylphenols; quantitative data were not provided. 3 GLN 860.1300: Nature of the Residue  Livestock The qualitative nature of the residue in livestock is not adequately understood. Under current policy, the Agency considers all feed items included in Table 1 of 860.1000 to be feed items for import tolerance purposes. Because wet apple pomace is a livestock feed item, the registrant must submit a ruminant metabolism study to fulfill reregistration requirements. If Rohm and Haas wishes to request a waiver for the ruminant metabolism study, they must convincingly document that it is unlikely that imported apples or wet apple pomace would be significant feed items in the U. S. or exporting countries and/ or that there are not significant imports of livestock commodities from the exporting countries into the U. S.

A poultry metabolism study is not required because there are no poultry feed items derived from the imported crops for which dinocap uses are being supported.

GLN 860.1340: Residue Analytical Methods Plant commodities: The Pesticide Analytical Manual ( PAM) Volume II lists a colorimetric method ( designated as Method I, Pesticide Reg. Sec. 180.341) for the determination of dinocap residues in/ on plant ( caneberries, fruits, and vegetables) commodities. Using this method, dinocap residues are extracted with benzene and hydrolyzed with pyridine to convert dinitrophenyl crotonates to the corresponding dinitrophenols. Following alumina column cleanup, steam distillation, and extraction with methylene chloride, the dinitrooctylphenol residues are converted with pyridine to the corresponding phenolates. Residues are quantitated with a spectrophotometer at 442 nm. The reported sensitivity of the method is 0.1 ppm. This method must be revised to remove the use of benzene. When the required plant metabolism study has been received, and the residues of concern have been determined, the Agency may require new plant residue analytical method( s) for the purposes of data collection and tolerance enforcement.

Animal commodities: Enforcement analytical methods are not available for dinocap residues in animal commodities. The requirement for animal residue analytical methods is reserved pending submission/ review of the required ruminant metabolism study and determination of the need for animal tolerances.

GLN 860.1360: Multiresidue Methods The 10/ 99 FDA PESTDATA database ( PAM Volume I, Appendix I) indicates that dinocap residues are completely recovered (> 80%) using Multiresidue Methods Section 302 ( Luke Method; Protocol D) but are only partially recovered ( 50 80%) using Multiresidue Methods Sections 303 ( Mills, Onley, and Gaither; Protocol E, nonfatty) and 304 ( Mills, fatty food). The Agency may require additional multiresidue methods data when the required plant metabolism study has been received and the residues of concern have been determined. 4 GLN 860.1380: Storage Stability Data Plant commodities: No acceptable storage stability data are available for plant commodities to fulfill reregistration requirements. The registrant must submit data pertaining to the storage stability of residues of the parent and all residues of regulatory and/ or risk concern in/ on apples and grapes. Storage stability studies must reflect the storage conditions and intervals of samples used in the required plant metabolism and magnitude of the residue studies. Storage stability data are not needed for analytes not known to be labile or volatile if samples are stored for less than 4 6 months for the metabolism study or 30 days for magnitude of the residue studies.

Animal commodities: The requirement for storage stability data for animal commodities is reserved pending submission/ review of the required ruminant metabolism study and determination of the need for animal tolerances.

GLN 860.1500: Crop Field Trials The reregistration requirements for magnitude of the residue in/ on imported apples and grapes have not been addressed. Field residue data must be submitted reflecting the maximum use patterns for representative dinocap formulations on apples and grapes to be exported to the U. S. Because Rohm and Haas has not provided any use pattern data or indicated in which countries dinocap is used or intended to be used on apples and grapes for export, the Agency cannot make specific recommendations concerning the number and locations of the foreign field trials to be conducted. In general, trials must be conducted in all countries in which dinocap is sold or intended to be sold. All countries which represent at least 5% of the U. S. imports, and all major growing areas within each country should be represented. Substitution of data from one country to another is acceptable if the registrant can demonstrate similar climatic conditions and cultural practices. The Agency is in the process of developing guidance on the conduct of crop field trials to support import tolerances. It is recommended that the registrant submit a protocol before generating field trial data for these commodities.

GLN 860.1520: Processed Food/ Feed The reregistration requirements for magnitude of the residue in/ on imported apples and grapes have not been addressed. The Agency has determined that processing studies must be conducted to support import tolerances if the imported commodities are likely to be processed once they have been imported into the U. S. or if processed commodities are imported into the U. S.; therefore, the registrant must conduct processing studies on apples and grapes. In the required processing studies, the raw agricultural commodity ( RAC) should be processed in a manner simulating typical commercial practice. The RAC should have detectable residues so that a concentration factor may be calculated. Exaggerated rates and/ or reduced preharvest intervals may be necessary to ensure that the RAC to be processed contains sufficient residues. The registrant is advised to consult the Agency if they believe processing studies are not necessary for imported apples or grapes. 5 GLN 860.1480: Meat, Milk, Poultry, Eggs The requirement for a ruminant feeding study is reserved pending submission/ review of the requested ruminant metabolism study and determination of terminal residues of concern. A poultry feeding study is not required because there are no poultry feed items derived from the imported crops for which dinocap uses are being supported.

GLN 860.1400: Water, Fish, and Irrigated Crops Dinocap is not registered for use on potable water or aquatic food and feed crops; therefore, no residue chemistry data are required under these guideline topics.

GLN 860.1460: Food Handling Dinocap is not registered for use in food handling establishments; therefore, no residue chemistry data are required under this guideline topic.

GLN 860.1850 and 860.1900: Confined/ Field Accumulation in Rotational Crops Residue data concerning these guideline topics are not required because apples and grapes are not rotatable crops. In addition, rotational crop studies are not required for import tolerances because of enforcement issues. ( continued; footnotes follow) 6 Table A. Residue Chemistry Science Assessments for Reregistration of Dinocap.

GLN: Data Requirements Current Tolerances, ppm [ 40 CFR] Must Additional Data Be Submitted? References 7 1. The registrant must submit a description of the uses of dinocap in all foreign countries in which dinocap is marketed for use on apples and grapes that may be exported to the U. S. It is preferable to submit copies of the labels ( which have been translated to English). The information must include, but is not limited to, the maximum single application rate, the maximum annual application rate, application timing ( as it relates to the plant growth stage), retreatment interval( s), application tank mix preparation, volume of spray mix per unit area, application equipment, and the pre harvest interval ( PHI). Application rates should be expressed in units of pounds of active ingredient per acre ( or kilograms of active ingredient per hectare).

2. The registrant must submit either an apple or a grape metabolism study to determine the qualitative metabolic fate of dinocap on a fruit crop when it has been applied under conditions similar to the foreign uses.

3. Because wet apple pomace is a livestock feed item, the registrant must submit a ruminant metabolism study to fulfill reregistration requirements. If Rohm and Haas wishes to request a waiver for the ruminant metabolism study, they must convincingly document that it is unlikely that imported apples or wet apple pomace would be significant feed items in the U. S. or exporting countries and/ or that there are not significant imports of livestock commodities from the exporting countries into the U. S.

4. A single analyte method is available in PAM Volume II for the enforcement of dinocap tolerances, as currently expressed. This method must be revised to remove the use of benzene. When the required plant metabolism study has been received, and the residues of concern have been determined, the Agency may require new plant residue analytical method( s) for the purposes of data collection and tolerance enforcement.

5. Enforcement analytical methods are not available for dinocap residues in animal commodities. The requirement for animal residue analytical method is reserved pending submission/ review of the requested ruminant metabolism study and determination of the need for animal tolerances. 860.1480: Meat, Milk, Poultry, Eggs  Milk, Fat, Meat, and Meat Byproducts of Cattle, Goats, Hogs, Horses, and Sheep None established Reserved 11  Eggs and the Fat, Meat, and Meat Byproducts of Poultry None established No 860.1400: Water, Fish, and Irrigated Crops None established No 860.1460: Food Handling None established No 860.1850: Confined Rotational Crops N/ A No 860.1900: Field Rotational Crops None established No Table A ( continued).

8 6. A multiresidue method is available in PAM Volume I for the determination of dinocap residues. The Agency may require additional multiresidue methods data when the required plant metabolism study has been received and the residues of concern have been determined.

7. The registrant must submit data pertaining to the storage stability of residues of the parent and all residues of regulatory and/ or risk concern in/ on apples and grapes. Storage stability studies must reflect the storage conditions and intervals of samples used in the required plant metabolism and magnitude of the residue studies. Storage stability data are not needed for analytes not known to be labile or volatile if samples are stored for less than 4 6 months for the metabolism study 30 days for magnitude of the residue studies.

8. The requirement for storage stability data for animal commodities is reserved pending submission/ review of the requested ruminant metabolism study and determination of the need for animal tolerances.

9. Field residue data must be submitted reflecting the maximum use patterns for representative dinocap formulations on apples and grapes to be exported to the U. S. Because Rohm and Haas has not provided any use pattern data or indicated in which countries dinocap is used or intended to be used on apples and grapes for export, the Agency cannot make specific recommendations concerning the number and locations of the foreign field trials to be conducted.

The Agency is in the process of developing guidance on the conduct of crop field trials to support import tolerances. It is recommended that the registrant submit a protocol before generating field trial data for these commodities.

10. The registrant must conduct processing studies on apples and grapes. In the required processing studies, the raw agricultural commodity ( RAC) should be processed in a manner simulating typical commercial practice. The RAC should have detectable residues so that a concentration factor may be calculated. Exaggerated rates and/ or reduced preharvest intervals may be necessary to ensure that the RAC to be processed contains sufficient residues. The registrant is advised to consult the Agency if they believe processing studies are not necessary for imported apples or grapes.

11. The requirement for a ruminant feeding study is reserved pending submission/ review of the requested ruminant metabolism study and determination of terminal residues of concern. 9 TOLERANCE REASSESSMENT SUMMARY Tolerances for residues of dinocap in/ on raw agricultural commodities are currently expressed in terms of the " combined negligible residues of a fungicide and insecticide that is a mixture of 2,4 dinitro 6 octylphenyl crotonate and 2,6 dinitro 4 octylphenyl crotonate" [ 40 CFR § 180.341( a)]. The adequacy of the tolerance expression will be reassessed following submission and evaluation of the requested fruit metabolism study. The HED Metabolism Assessment Review Committee ( MARC) may be consulted to determine dinocap residues of regulatory and/ or risk concern.

Tolerances Listed Under 40 CFR § 180.341( a):

Tolerances of 0.1 ppm have been established for apples and grapes; see Table B below. The adequacy of these RAC tolerances, as import tolerances, cannot be determined at this time because additional residue data from foreign field trials are required. Processing data on apples and grapes are also required. If the requested processing data indicate that dinocap residues of concern concentrate in the processed fractions of apples and grapes imported into the U. S., then the registrant will be required to propose tolerances.

Table B. Tolerance Reassessment Summary for Dinocap.

Commodity Current Tolerance, ppm Reassessed Tolerance, ppm Comment [ Correct Commodity Definition]

Tolerances Established Under 40 CFR § 180.341( a)

Apples 0.1 To be determined. [ Apple]

Grapes 0.1 To be determined. [ Grape]

CODEX HARMONIZATION There are currently no Codex MRLs established for residues of dinocap. JMPR has recommended MRLs of 0.2 ppm for apples and 1 ppm for grapes based on residues in European trials which showed < 0.05 ( ND) 0.09 ppm in apples and < 0.05 0.67 ppm in grapes; in 1998. These values have not been adopted because of acute dietary risk concerns. The issue is to be addressed in 2002. The Codex MRLs are expressed in terms of dinocap isomers and phenols, expressed as dinocap. Current U. S. tolerances are 0.1 ppm ( negligible) for both apples and grapes ( 40 CFR 180.341). Harmonization of the tolerance expression/ definition and tolerances between Codex MRLs and U. S. tolerances can not be achieved until outstanding metabolism and residue data are submitted. 10 AGENCY MEMORANDA RELEVANT TO REREGISTRATION DP Barcode: None Subject: PP# 9F0847: Karathane on various commodities.

style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";  mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br>  <br>  Thank you for your inquiry concerning how the petition process identified at 40  C.F.R. § 63.8(f) relates to issues raised in Johnson Control Battery Group,  Inc.'s (JCI's) Petition for Reconsideration, dated March 5, 2012, which was  submitted in response to requirements included in the final Subpart X Rule for  Secondary Lead Smelting, published at 77 Fed. Reg. 556 (Jan. 5, 2012)(the  "Final Rule").  JCI's Petition addressed, among other issues,  certain monitoring requirements which were changed after the draft Subpart X  rule was published at 76 Fed. Reg. 29,032 (May 19, 2011). <br>  <br>  As we have discussed, JCI is unaware of circumstances where § 63.8(f) has been  used to alter the language of definitions included in a final NESHAP rule or to  address the other specific items JCI included in its Petition for  Reconsideration.  We would be interested in EPA s historical experience  with the use of § 63.8(f) to address any such items, and we would be happy to  review any of these items with EPA.</span><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:  "Times New Roman"'> </span><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";  mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br>  <br>  However, an additional point of concern for JCI with respect to any application  of §63.8(f) is that it appears from a reading of this section that any proposed  monitoring requirement alternative would be subject to a further review and  approval process.  JCI has already gone through and completed permitting  under Subpart X.  If additional requirements are to be applied to JCI s  operations as a result of the Final Rule, the timing and procedures afforded  for JCI to challenge these new requirements is established by law.  Given  that EPA has eliminated alternatives means for making the above-referenced  showings in the Final Rule, it is imperative that the requirements of the Final  Rule be made clear and reasonable.  For these reasons, and as further stated  in its Petition, JCI contends that the most appropriate solution to the issues  raised in its Petition for Reconsideration would be for EPA to revise the Final  Rule by including the technical clarifications and corrections necessary to  make the Final Rule unambiguous and reasonable, for not only JCI but also for  other secondary lead smelters.  The revisions JCI requested for the Final  Rule are needed to provide clarity.  Again, JCI would welcome any  opportunity to explore these issues further with EPA.<span style='color:#004080'> </span><br>  <br>  Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience.<span  style='color:#004080'> </span><br>  <br>  Thanks,</span><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'> </span><span  style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br>  <br>  Bernie </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";  mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br>  <br>  </span><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br>  <br>  </span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";  mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Bernard F.

FERC Form 2, Annual Report of Major Natural Gas Companies, & FERC Form
2A, Annual Report of Nonmajor Natural Gas Companies

    OMB Control Nos.: 1902-0028 & 1902-0030.
    Abstract: Pursuant to sections 8, 10 and 14 of the National Gas Act
(NGA), (15 U.S.C. 717g-717m, Pub. L. 75-688), the Commission is
authorized to make investigations and collect and record data, to
prescribe rules and regulations concerning accounts, records and
memoranda as necessary or appropriate for purposes of administering the
NGA. The Commission includes the filing requirements in 18 CFR 260.1
and 260.2.
    The forms provide information concerning a company's past
performance. The information is compiled using a standard chart of
accounts contained in the Commission's Uniform System of Accounts
(USofA).\2\ The forms contain schedules which include a basic set of
financial statements: Comparative Balance Sheet, Statement of Income
and Retained Earnings, Statement of Cash Flows, and the Statement of
Comprehensive Income and Hedging Activities. Supporting schedules
containing supplementary information are filed, including revenues and
the related quantities of products sold or transported; account
balances for various operating and maintenance expenses; selected plant
cost data; and other information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See 18 CFR part 201.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The information collected in the forms is used by Commission staff,
state regulatory agencies and others in the review of the financial
condition of regulated companies. The information is also used in
various rate proceedings, industry analyses and in the Commission's
audit programs and as appropriate, for the computation of annual
charges based on Page 520 of the forms. The Commission provides the
information to the public, interveners and all interested parties to
assist in the proceedings before the Commission.
    Print versions of the Forms 2 and 2A are located on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/forms.asp#2.
    Type of Respondent: Each natural gas company whose combined gas
transported or stored for a fee exceed 50 million dekatherms in each of
the previous three years must file the Form 2. Each natural gas company
not meeting the filing threshold for the Form 2 but having total gas
sales or volume transactions exceeding 200,000 dekatherms in each of
the previous three calendar years must submit the Form 2A.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collections as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the
following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response
    * $70.50 per Hour = Average Cost per Response. The hourly cost
figure of $70.50 is the average FERC employee wage plus benefits. We
assume that respondents earn at a similar rate.

FERC-523, Applications for Authorization for Issuance of Securities or
the Assumption of Liabilities

    OMB Control No.: 1902-0082.
    Abstract: Under Federal Power Act (FPA) section 204, 16 U.S.C.
824c, no public utility or licensee shall issue any security, or assume
any obligation or liability as guarantor, endorser, surety, or
otherwise in respect of any security of another person, until the
public utility applies for and receives Commission approval by order
authorizing the issue or assumption of the liability. The Commission
issues an order if it finds that such issue or assumption (a) is for
lawful object, within the corporate purposes of the applicant and
compatible with the public interest, which is necessary or appropriate
for or consistent with the proper performance by the applicant as a
public utility, and which will not impair its ability to perform that
service, and (b) is reasonably necessary or appropriate for such
purposes.
    The Commission uses the information contained in filings to
determine its acceptance and/or rejection of applications for
authorization to either issue securities or to assume an obligation or
liability by the public utilities and their licensees who submit these
applications.
    The specific application requirements and filing format are found
at 18 CFR part 34; and 18 CFR 131.43 and 131.50. The information is
filed electronically.
    Type of Respondent: Public utilities subject to the FPA.

    Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the
following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $70.50 per
Hour = Average Cost per Response. The hourly cost figure of $70.50
is the average FERC employee wage plus benefits. We assume that
respondents earn at a similar rate.
    \5\ Some respondents may be required to provide more than one
response.
