MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:  	EFED Drinking Water and Ecological Risk Review for Coumaphos (036501) IR-4 Use on Beehives DP Barcode D315770

TO:    		Shaja Brothers, Risk Manager Reviewer

          		Daniel Rosenblatt, Risk Manager

		Registration Division ()

FROM:     	Edward Odenkirchen, Ph.D., Senior Biologist

          		Environmental Risk Branch I

          		Environmental Fate and Effects Division (7507P)

THROUGH:	Nancy Andrews, Ph.D., Chief

Environmental Risk Branch I

          		Environmental Fate and Effects Division (7507P)

The Registration Division has requested the Environmental Fate and Effects Division to review an IR-4 petition for the use of coumaphos impregnated strips CheckMite+® Pest Control Strip in beehives for the control of varroa mites and small hive beetles within the honeybee colony.  The labeling for the IR-4 petition differs from previous Section 18 emergency exemptions for the use of coumaphos in only two ways.  The labeling would allow use of the coumaphos product during periods of honey production. The labeling also has been revised for first aid statements in compliance with PR Notice 2001-1.

EFED has reviewed the proposed label use and found a number of key aspects of this use as it relates to both ecological risks and drinking water assessment.  First the material is impregnated on a solid substrate which is placed inside the commercial beehive structure.  Once in the beehive, the material is sheltered from the elements so that no runoff or drift of coumaphos to surrounding environments would likely occur even during precipitation events.  Secondly, the pesticide impregnated strips are placed on the floor of the beehive or between center-most combs of the beehive to eliminate or reduce bee contact with the strips.

μg coumaphos equivalents/L for the maximum annual concentration (acute) and 1.22 μg coumaphos equivalents/L for the 56 day average concentration (chronic).   SCI-GROW modeling predicted that the total coumaphos residue concentration in groundwater used as drinking water is not likely to exceed 0.17 μg coumaphos equivalents/L.

[Docket No. FAA-2022-0467; Project Identifier AD-2022-00174-E]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain General Electric Company (GE) GEnx-1B and GEnx-2B model
turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by the detection of
melt-related freckles in the forgings and billets, which may reduce the
life of certain compressor discharge pressure (CDP) seals, interstage
seals, high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor stage 2 disks, and stages 6-10
compressor rotor spools. This proposed AD would require revising the
airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the applicable GEnx-1B and
GEnx-2B Engine Manual (EM) and the operator's existing approved
maintenance program or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate reduced life limits for these parts. The FAA is proposing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 18,
2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2022-0467; Project Identifier
AD-2022-00174-E'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR

11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to
Alexei Marqueen, Aviation Safety Engineer, ECO Branch, FAA, 1200
District Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803. Any commentary that the FAA
receives which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in
the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA was notified by the engine manufacturer of the detection of
melt-related freckles in the forgings and billets, which may reduce the
life of certain CDP seals, interstage seals, HPT rotor stage 2 disks,
and stages 6-10 compressor rotor spools (life-limited parts (LLPs)) on
GEnx-1B54/P2, GEnx-1B58/P2, GEnx-1B64/P2, GEnx-1B67/P2, GEnx-1B70/P2,
GEnx-1B70C/P2, GEnx-1B70/72/P2, GEnx-1B70/75/P2, GEnx-1B74/75/P2, GEnx-
1B75/P2, GEnx-1B76/P2, GEnx-1B76A/P2, and GEnx-1B78/P2 (GEnx-1B) and
GEnx-2B67, GEnx-2B67B, and GEnx-2B67/P (GEnx-2B) model turbofan
engines. The manufacturer's investigation determined that, as a result
of such freckles forming in the forgings and billets, certain LLPs may
have undetected subsurface anomalies that developed during the
manufacturing process, resulting in reduced material properties and a
lower fatigue life capability. Reduced material properties may cause
premature LLP fracture, which could result in uncontained debris
release. As a result of its investigation, the manufacturer determined
the need to reduce the life limits of certain LLPs. To reflect these
reduced life limits, the manufacturer revised the ALS of the affected
GEnx-1B and GEnx-2B EMs. The FAA is proposing to require operators to
update the ALS of the applicable GEnx-1B and GEnx-2B EM with the
reduced life limits for certain LLPs. This condition, if not addressed,
could result in uncontained debris release, damage to the engine, and
damage to the airplane.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed GE GEnx-1B Service Bulletin (SB) 72-0484 R00,
dated August 11, 2021, and GE GEnx-2B SB 72-0423 R00, dated August 11,
2021. These SBs, differentiated by engine model, provide the reduced
life limits for certain LLPs.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require revising the ALS of the applicable
GEnx-1B and GEnx-2B EM and the operator's existing approved maintenance
program or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate reduced
life limits for certain LLPs.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    GE GEnx-2B Service Bulletin (SB) 72-0423 R00, dated August 11,
2021, uses the term ``HPT stage 2 disk'' to describe HPT stage 2 disk
P/N 2383M86P02, while this proposed AD uses the term ``HPT rotor stage
2 disk.''

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 390 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

    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.
    The FAA is 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 products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 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:

General Electric Company: Docket No. FAA-2022-0467; Project
Identifier AD-2022-00174-E.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by July 18, 2022.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to General Electric Company (GE) GEnx-1B54/P2,
GEnx-1B58/P2, GEnx-1B64/P2, GEnx-1B67/P2, GEnx-1B70/P2, GEnx-1B70C/
P2, GEnx-1B70/72/P2, GEnx-1B70/75/P2, GEnx-1B74/75/P2, GEnx-1B75/P2,
GEnx-1B76/P2, GEnx-1B76A/P2, GEnx-1B78/P2, GEnx-2B67, GEnx-2B67B,
and GEnx-2B67/P model turbofan engines.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 7230, Turbine Engine
Compressor Section, and JASC Code 7250, Turbine Section.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the detection of melt-related freckles
in the forgings and billets, which may reduce the life of certain
compressor discharge pressure (CDP) seals, interstage seals, high-
pressure turbine (HPT) rotor stage 2 disks, and stages 6-10
compressor rotor spools. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent
failure of the CDP seal, interstage seal, HPT rotor stage 2 disk,
and stages 6-10 compressor rotor spool. The unsafe condition, if not
addressed, could result in uncontained debris release, damage to the
engine, and damage to the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Required Actions

    (1) For all affected GEnx-1B model turbofan engines, within 90
days after the effective date of this AD, revise the airworthiness
limitations section (ALS) of the existing GEnx-1B Engine Manual (EM)
and the operator's existing approved maintenance program or
inspection program, as applicable, by inserting the following
information into the applicable table for their respective part
numbers:
    (i) For stages 6-10 compressor rotor spool part number (P/N)
2628M56G01, insert the information in Table 1 to paragraph (g)(1)(i)
of this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a two-year period if it
finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.'' The procedures for requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

II. Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 21 individuals who have requested renewal of
their exemptions in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 21applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are:

Timothy H. DuBois (MN)
David L. Ellis (OK)
Alf M. Gronstedt (TX)
Richard G. Gruber (SC)
Matthew J. Hahn (PA)
Dennis K. Harris (GA)
Raymond G. Hayden (LA)
Donald E. Howell (PA)
Tommy T. Hudson (VA)
Casey R. Johnson (MN)
Clifford D. Johnson (VA)
William D. Johnson (OK)
Phillip L. Mangen (OH)
Clarence M. Miles (OK)
Steven M. Montalbo (CA)
Harry M. Oxendine (NC)
Vincent Rubino (NJ)
Randy G. Spilman (OH)
Thomas S. Thompson (NE)
Robert A. Wegner (MN)
Wayne A. Whitehead (NY)

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) That each individual has a physical examination every year (a) by
an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10),
and (b) by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is
otherwise physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each
individual provides a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's
report to the medical examiner at the time of the annual medical
examination; and (3) that each individual provide a copy of the annual
medical certification to the employer for retention in the driver's
qualification file and retains a copy of the certification on his/her
person while driving for presentation to a duly authorized Federal,
State, or local enforcement official. Each exemption will be valid for
two years unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be
rescinded if: (1) The person fails to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower
level of safety than was maintained before it wasgranted; or (3)
continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals
and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315.

III. Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application for additional two year periods. In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 21 applicants has satisfied the
entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (65 FR 66286; 66 FR 13825; 67 FR 76439; 68 FR 10298; 68 FR
13360; 68 FR 19598; 68 FR 33570; 70 FR 14747; 70 FR 25878; 71 FR 14566;
71 FR 30227; 71 FR 63379; 72 FR 1050; 72 FR 27624; 72 FR 28093; 74 FR
980; 74 FR 7097; 74 FR 8302; 74 FR 15584; 74 FR 19270; 74 FR 20253; 76
FR 4414; 76 FR 11215; 76 FR 15361; 76 FR 17481; 76 FR 25762; 76 FR
28125; 76 FR 29026; 77 FR 74731; 78 FR 798; 78 FR 12811; 78 FR 12822;
78 FR 16761; 78 FR 18667; 78 FR 24300; 78 FR 30954). Each of these 21
applicants has requested renewal of the exemption and has submitted
evidence showing that the vision in the better eye continues to meet
the requirement specified at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and that the vision
impairment is stable. In addition, a review of each record of safety
while driving with the respective vision deficiencies over the past two
years indicates each applicant continues to meet the vision exemption
requirements. These factors provide an adequate basis for predicting
each driver's ability to continue to drive safely in interstate
commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the exemption for

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1051]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory
flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream
locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of
the floodplain management measures that the community is required
either to adopt or show evidence of having in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents, and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before August 24, 2009.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1051, to
William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief, Engineering Management Branch,
Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3151, or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make

determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs for each community listed
below, in accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established
by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed
elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of
the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made
final, and for the contents in these buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Dichlorprop-p Reregistration Eligibility Decision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) for the pesticide dichlorprop-p (2,4-DP-p).
The Agency's risk assessments and other related documents also are
available in the 2,4-DP-p Docket. 2,4-DP-p is an herbicide used to
manage broadleaf weeds, woody plants, and brush in residential lawns,
sod farms, golf courses, sports turf, and non-cultivated agricultural
land. 2,4-DP-p is also used to manage woody plants and brush in non-
cultivated areas, such as fencerows and rights-of-ways. EPA has
reviewed 2,4-DP-p through the public participation process that the
Agency

uses to involve the public in developing pesticide reregistration
decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that all pesticides
meet current health and safety standards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. How Can I Get Copies of this Document and Other Related Information?

    1. Docket. EPA has established a docket for this action under
docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0944 publicly
available docket materials are available either in the electronic
docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard

copy, at the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public
Docket in Rm. S-4400, One Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to
ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA
has completed a RED for the pesticide, 2,4-DP-p under section
4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. 2,4-DP-p is a chlorophenoxy herbicide frequently
co-formulated with other chlorophenoxy herbicides. Products containing
2,4-DP-p are frequently formulated into weed-and-feed and spot-
treatment products used to manage broadleaf weeds in residential lawns,
sod farms, golf courses, and non-cultivated agricultural land. 2,4-DP-p
is also used to manage woody plants and brush in non-cultivated areas,
such as fencerows and rights-of-ways. EPA has determined that the data
base to support reregistration is substantially complete and that
products containing 2,4-DP-p are eligible for reregistration, provided
that the mitigation measures are adopted in the manner described in the
RED, including, but not limited to, use rate reductions and labeling
amendments. Upon submission of any required product specific data under
section 4(g)(2)(B) of FIFRA and any necessary changes to the
registration and labeling (either to address concerns identified in the
RED or as a result of product specific data), EPA will make a final
reregistration decision under section 4(g)(2)(C) of FIFRA for products
containing 2,4-DP-p.
    EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all
pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The
Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public
Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14,
2004, (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these
programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be
commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of
issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide.
Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, 2,4-DP-p was reviewed
through the modified 4-Phase process. Through this process, EPA worked
extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the regulatory
decisions for 2,4-DP-p.
    The reregistration program is being conducted under congressionally
mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely
decisions and to involve the public. Through consultations with
stakeholders, all issues related to this pesticide were resolved
through the various mitigation measures identified in the RED.
Therefore, the Agency is issuing the 2,4-DP-p RED without a comment
period.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, directs that, after
submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ``the
Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active
ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' before calling in product
specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering
products or taking other ``appropriate regulatory action.''
