[EPA-HQ-OPP-2016-0608; FRL-9983-67]

Beauveria bassiana Strain PPRI 5339; Exemption From the
Requirement of a Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI 5339 in
or on all food commodities when this pesticide chemical is used in
accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices. BASF
Corporation submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a
maximum permissible level for residues of Beauveria bassiana strain
PPRI 5339 in or on all food commodities under FFDCA.

DATES: This regulation is effective September 18, 2018. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before November 19, 2018,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

II. Background

    In the Federal Register of December 20, 2016 (81 FR 92758) (FRL-
9956-04), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide tolerance
petition (PP 6F8485) by BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Dr., Research
Triangle Park, NC 27709. The petition requested that 40 CFR part 180 be
amended by establishing an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of the insecticide Beauveria bassiana strain
PPRI 5339 in or on all food commodities. That document referenced a
summary of the petition prepared by the petitioner BASF Corporation and
available in the docket via http://www.regulations.gov. There were no
comments received in response to the notice of filing.

III. Final Rule

A. EPA's Safety Determination

    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and in residential settings but does not include
occupational exposure. Pursuant to FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), in
establishing or maintaining in effect an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance, EPA must take into account the factors set forth in
FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C), which require EPA to give special
consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide
chemical residue in establishing a tolerance or tolerance exemption and
to ``ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide
chemical residue. . . .'' Additionally, FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D)
requires that EPA consider ``available information concerning the
cumulative effects of [a particular pesticide's] . . . residues and
other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.''
    EPA evaluated the available toxicological and exposure data on
Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI 5339 and considered their validity,
completeness, and reliability, as well as the relationship of this
information to human risk. A full explanation of the data upon which
EPA relied and its risk assessment based on those data can be found
within the document entitled ``Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) Safety Determination for Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI 5339''
(Safety Determination). This document, as well as other relevant
information, is available in the docket for this action as described
under ADDRESSES.
    The available data demonstrated that Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI
5339 is not toxic, pathogenic, or infective through most of the routes
of exposure, except through inhalation where it is highly toxic by
itself (100% active ingredient). When Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI
5339 is combined with an oil and its concentration is decreased (8%
active ingredient), however, data demonstrated it is not toxic through
inhalation. Although there may be some exposure to residues when
Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI 5339 is used on food commodities in
accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices, there
is a lack of concern due to the lack of toxicity from dietary exposure
to Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI 5339. There are no residential uses
currently associated with Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI 5339. In the
event residential uses may be sought in the future, those exposures
would not be aggregated with the dietary exposure due to the difference
in toxic effects. Moreover, EPA intends to mitigate the potential for
inhalation risk through terms on any associated registration(s). EPA
also determined in the Safety Determination that retention of the Food
Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor was not necessary as part
of the qualitative assessment conducted for Beauveria bassiana strain
PPRI 5339.
    Based upon its evaluation in the Safety Determination, EPA
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that

no harm will result to the U.S. population, including infants and
children, from aggregate exposure to residues of Beauveria bassiana
strain PPRI 5339. Therefore, an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance is established for residues of Beauveria bassiana strain PPRI
5339 in or on all food commodities when this pesticide chemical is used
in accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices.

B. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required because EPA is establishing an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance without any numerical
limitation.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

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

V. Congressional Review Act

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends Class E airspace in the Hot Springs, VA area, support of
IFR operations at Bath Community Hospital Heliport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register (82 FR 26409, June 7, 2017) Docket No. FAA-2016-9453
proposing to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Hot Springs, VA, by adding controlled airspace for
Bath Community Hospital Heliport to the Ingalls Field Airport airspace
designation. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
    Subsequent to publication, the FAA found that the updated
geographic coordinates of Ingalls Field Airport were incorrect in the
NPRM. This action corrects that error.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6002, and
6005,

respectively of FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and effective
September 15, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface by adding controlled airspace within a 7-mile radius of
Bath Community Hospital Heliport to the existing designation of Class E
airspace at Ingalls Field Airport, Hot Springs, VA. This action
accommodates new area navigation (RNAV) (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures at the heliport. Airspace reconfiguration is
necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the
heliport.
    Also, the geographic coordinates for Ingalls Field Airport are
corrected to read (Lat. 37[deg]57'05'' N., long. 79[deg]50'02'' W.),
from (Lat. 37[deg]57'09'' N., long. 79[deg]50'03'' W.)

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

    Abstract: The National Listing of Fish Advisories (NLFA) database
contains information on the number of advisories issued by each state,
territory, or tribe annually. The advisory information collected
identifies the waterbody under advisory, the fish or shellfish species
and size ranges included in the advisory, the chemical contaminants and
residue levels causing the advisory to be issued, the waterbody type
(river, lake, estuary, coastal waters), and the target populations to
whom the advisory is directed. This information is collected under the
authority of section 104 of the Clean Water Act, which provides for the
collection of information to be used to protect human health and the
environment. The results of the survey are shared with states,
territories, tribes, other federal agencies, and the general public
through the NLFA database and the distribution of biennial fish
advisory fact sheets. The responses to the survey are voluntary and the
information requested is part of the state public record associated
with the advisories. No confidential business information is requested.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are Administrators of Public Health and Environmental
Quality Programs in state and tribal governments (NAICS 92312/SIC 9431
and NAICS 92411/SIC 9511).
    Respondent's Obligation To Respond: Voluntary (Clean Water Act,
Section 104).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 92 total.
    Frequency of Response: Annual.
    Total Estimated Burden: 3,336 labor hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total Estimated Cost: $125,697.09 (per year), includes $520
annualized operation & maintenance costs. No capital or startup costs
are required.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter
France)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus
Helicopters Model SA341G and SA342J helicopters. This AD requires
repetitive inspections of a certain part-numbered main rotor hub
torsion bar (torsion bar). This AD was prompted by several cases of
corrosion in the metal strands of the torsion bar. The actions of this
AD are intended to detect corrosion and prevent failure of the torsion
bar, loss of a main rotor blade, and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective May 18, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain document listed in this AD as of May 18, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On November 19, 2015, at 80 FR 72390, the Federal Register
published our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to
amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Model SA341G
and SA342J helicopters with a torsion bar part number 704A33633274
installed. The NPRM proposed to require removing and performing
repetitive inspections of each torsion bar for a crack in the
polyurethane (PU) coating, the dimension of the angle between the
bushings, corrosion on the inside diameter of each bushing, the
thickness of each bushing, the size of the inside diameter of each
bushing, and missing varnish on the two faces of each bushing. The NPRM
also proposed to require replacing the torsion bar before further
flight if there is a crack in the PU coating of a torsion bar that
matches or exceeds the damage criteria, if the angle of the torsion bar
is 7 degrees or more, if any corrosion on a bushing cannot be removed
by rubbing it with an abrasive pad, if the thickness of a bushing is
less than 37.520 mm (1.477 in), or if the diameter of a bushing is
larger than 21,040 mm (.828 in). If varnish is missing from more than
15 percent of the surface area from a face of a bushing, the NPRM
proposed to require removing all varnish, finishing with an abrasive
pad, and applying a coat of paint to the face of the bushing. The
proposed requirements were intended to detect corrosion and prevent
failure of the

torsion bar, loss of a main rotor blade, and subsequent loss of control
of the helicopter.
    The NPRM was prompted by AD No. 2014-0216, dated September 24,
2014, issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member
States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus
Helicopters Model SA341G and SA342J helicopters. EASA advises that
several cases of cracks were found on the PU coating of part-numbered
704A33633274 torsion bars installed on military Model SA341
helicopters. EASA states that these parts can also be installed on
civilian Model SA341 and SA342 helicopters. According to EASA, analysis
of the cracked torsion bars showed small areas of superficial corrosion
on the strands inside the bars can also develop during the
manufacturing process. EASA states that cracking of the PU coating near
these areas and the associated penetration of water can lead to further
and deeper development of the corrosion. EASA advises that this
condition, if not detected and corrected, allows water to penetrate
into the torsion bar causing corrosion and failure of the metal strands
inside the bar. Failure of the metal strands could lead to torsion bar
failure, resulting in an in-flight loss of a main rotor blade and
consequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we did not receive any comments on the NPRM (80 FR 72390,
November 19, 2015).

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
France and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with France, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of these same
type designs and that air safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD requirements as proposed.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD to be an interim action. If final action is
later identified, we might consider further rulemaking.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    This AD requires you to replace a torsion bar instead of returning
it to the manufacturer for examination.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Eurocopter (now Airbus Helicopters) has issued Gazelle Inspection--
Check 65.12.607, ``Main Rotor Head: Torsion Tie-Back Check (Post MOD
076171),'' dated August 2008, of the Eurocopter Gazelle Helicopter
Maintenance Manual, Tome 1, which describes inspecting the torsion bars
for a crack in the PU coating and for corrosion and thickness of the
bushings.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Other Related Service Information

    Airbus Helicopters has also issued Alert Service Bulletin No.
SA341/SA342-05.40, Revision 0, dated April 28, 2014 (ASB), for Model
SA341G and SA342J helicopters certificated by the FAA, and military
Model SA341B, C, D, E, F, and H and SA342K, L, L1, M, M1, and Ma
helicopters. The ASB specifies repetitively inspecting the torsion bars
in accordance with certain work cards, including work card 65.12.607.
These inspections are part of Airbus Helicopters' current maintenance
program, and the ASB revises the compliance time interval for the
inspections.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 33 helicopters of U.S. Registry.
We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order to
comply with this AD. We estimate $85 per work-hour for labor. We
estimate 8 work-hours to inspect each helicopter at an estimated cost
of $680 per helicopter and $22,440 for the U.S. fleet per inspection
cycle. Replacing a torsion bar will cost $7,020 for required parts; no
additional labor is necessary.

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 regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on helicopters identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will 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 above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    (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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

2016-07-27 Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter France):
Amendment 39-18472; Docket No. FAA-2015-5914; Directorate Identifier
2014-SW-056-AD.

(a) Applicability

    This AD applies to Model SA341G and SA342J helicopters with a
main rotor head torsion bar (torsion bar) part number 704A33633274
installed, certificated in any category.

(b) Unsafe Condition

    This AD defines the unsafe condition as a crack in the coating
of the torsion bar resulting in corrosion. This condition could
result in failure of a torsion bar, loss of a main rotor blade, and
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

(c) Effective Date

    This AD becomes effective May 18, 2016.

(d) Compliance

    You are responsible for performing each action required by this
AD within the specified compliance time unless it has already been
accomplished prior to that time.

(e) Required Actions

    (1) For each torsion bar with less than 5 years since the first
date of installation on any helicopter, within the compliance time
shown in Table 1 to paragraph (e)(1) of this AD:
    (i) Remove the torsion bar and, using a magnifying glass with a
maximum magnification level of 10X, visually inspect for a crack in
the polyurethane (PU) coating of the torsion bar as depicted in
Figure 1 of Gazelle Inspection--Check 65.12.607, ``Main Rotor Head:
Torsion Tie-Back Check (Post MOD 076171),'' dated August 2008, of
the Eurocopter Gazelle Helicopter Maintenance Manual, Tome 1. This
type of task is commonly called a ``work card'' and will be
referenced in this AD as ``the work card.'' Consider two cracks that
are less than 5 mm (.196 in) apart as a single crack. If there is a
crack in the PU coating that is more than 5 mm (.196 in), replace
the torsion bar before further flight. Do not rework the PU coating
of the torsion bar in any way.
    (ii) Inspect the angle, dimension alpha, as depicted in View on
Arrow F of Figure 1 of the work card. If the angle is 7 or more
degrees, replace the torsion bar before further flight.
    (iii) Inspect each bushing for corrosion on the inside diameter.
If any corrosion cannot be removed by rubbing it with an abrasive
pad, replace the torsion bar before further flight.
    (iv) Using an outside micrometer, measure the thickness,
dimension a, of each bushing as depicted in Detail AA of Figure 1 of
the work card. If the thickness is less than 37.520 mm (1.477 in),
replace the torsion bar before further flight.
    (v) Using an inside micrometer, measure the inside diameter,
dimension b, of each bushing as depicted in Detail AA of Figure 1 of
the work card. If the diameter is larger than 21.040 mm (.828 in),
replace the torsion bar before further flight.
    (vi) Inspect the two faces of each bushing for missing varnish.
If varnish is missing from more than 15% of the surface area on a
face of a bushing, before further flight, remove all varnish using
400-grit abrasive paper. Finish with an abrasive pad and apply a
coat of P05 paint to the face of the bushing.
