Metabolism and pharmacokinetics

(rat)	 45118403 (1998)

 45118404 (1999)

Acceptable/guideline	Nearly 35% of an oral dose of pyraclostrobin is
absorbed with urinary and fecal excretions accounting for about 15% and
85%, respectively, and bile elimination accounted for about 30%. Two
peak plasma concentrations were reached at 0.5-1 and 8 hours with lower
plasma concentrations in males than females (by 16-38%) during the early
peak phase.  Elimination was biphasic at a low dose with plasma half
lives of nearly 10/35 hours and monophasic at a high dose with a
half-life of nearly 20 hours.  Tissue distribution was fast, peaking at
0.5 hours, and was slightly higher among females.  Some of the highest
concentrations were found in the liver, thyroid, kidney, lung, adrenal
glands, and pancreas but all levels dropped by more than 20-fold within
72 hours. About 33 metabolites were identified in urine, feces, and bile
with no sex- or dose-related differences but the position of the label
seemed to alter the profile, particularly in the urine.  Desmethoxy
pyraclostrobin (500M07) is one of the major metabolites in rat and is
also found in large amounts in plants (BF 500-3) and livestock (500M07).
 The rat metabolic pathway included phase-I reactions such as
N-demethoxylation, various hydroxylations, and cleavage of the ether
bond with subsequent oxidation; these reactions were followed by phase
II glucuronidation and sulfation.

Dermal penetration

(rat)	45118402 (1999) Unacceptable/guideline (most of the test material
was retained on the dressing and was unavailable for absorption;
therefore, actual dose cannot be determined. 	The HIARC calculated and
recommended a dermal penetration rate of 14% (report dated 2/10/03; TXR
# 0051553)

Appendix B: Rationale for Toxicity Data Requirement

Appendix B:  Rationale for Toxicity Data Requirements

OPPTS Guideline Number:  870.7800

Study Title:  Immunotoxicity

Rationale for Requiring the Data

	The immunotoxicity study is a new data requirement under 40CFR §158 as
a part of the data requirements for registration of a pesticide (food
and non-food uses).

 such as tuberculosis (TB), Severe Acquired Respiratory Syndrome (SARS),
or neoplasia.  Because the immune system is highly complex, studies not
specifically conducted to assess immunotoxic endpoints are inadequate to
characterize a pesticide’s potential immunotoxicity.  While data from
hematology, lymphoid organ weights, and histopathology in routine
chronic or subchronic toxicity studies may offer useful information on
potential immunotoxic effects, these endpoints alone are insufficient to
predict immunotoxicity.

Practical Utility of the Data

How will the data be used?

	Immunotoxicity studies provide critical scientific information needed
to characterize potential hazard to the human population on the immune
system from pesticide exposure.  Since epidemiologic data on the effects
of chemical exposures on immune parameters are limited, and are
inadequate to characterize a pesticide’s potential immunotoxicity in
humans, animal studies are used as the most sensitive endpoint for risk
assessment.  These animal studies can be used to select endpoints and
doses for use in risk assessment of all exposure scenarios, and are
considered a primary data source for reliable reference dose
calculation.  For example, animal studies have demonstrated that
immunotoxicity in rodents is one of the more sensitive manifestations of
TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) among developmental,
reproductive and endocrinologic toxicities.  Additionally, the EPA has
established an oral reference dose (RfD) for tributyltin oxide (TBTO),
based on observed immunotoxicity in animal studies (IRIS, 1997).

How could the data impact the Agency's future decision-making?

	If the immunotoxicity study shows that the test material poses either a
greater or a diminished risk than that given in the interim decision’s
conclusion, the risk assessments for the test material may need to be
revised to reflect the magnitude of potential risk derived from the new
data.

 	If the Agency does not have these data, a 10X database UF may be
applied for conducting a risk assessment from the available studies.

[Docket ID: FEMA-2012-0031; OMB No. 1660-0085]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request: Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training
Program

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will submit the
information collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and
Budget for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The submission will describe the
nature of the information collection, the categories of respondents,
the estimated burden (i.e., the time, effort and resources used by
respondents to respond) and cost, and the actual data collection
instruments FEMA will use.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before March 13, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the proposed information
collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office
of Management and Budget. Comments should be addressed to the Desk
Officer for the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, and sent via electronic mail to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or faxed to<PHONE_NUMBER>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection should be made to Director,
Records Management Division, 1800 South Bell Street, Arlington, VA
20598-3005, facsimile number<PHONE_NUMBER>, or email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 416 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, (Stafford Act) (42 U.S.C.
5183) Public Law 93-288, as amended, authorizes the President to
provide financial assistance to States, U.S. Territories, and Federally
Recognized Tribes for professional counseling services to survivors of
major disasters to relieve mental health problems caused by or
aggravated by a major disaster or its aftermath. FEMA has codified
Section 416 of the Stafford Act at section 44 CFR 206.171 entitled
Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training. Under Section 416 of the
Stafford Act and 44 CFR 206.171, the President has designated the
Department of Health and Human Services-Center for Mental Health
Services (HHS-CMHS) to coordinate with FEMA in administering the Crisis
Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP). FEMA and HHS-CMHS
signed an interagency agreement under which HHS-CMHS provides program
oversight, technical assistance and training to States applying for CCP
funding.
    We received one comment during the 60-day FRN period. Main points
addressed include (1) CCP grants do not reimburse states for indirect
costs associated with administrative overhead which has proven
burdensome to the state, (2) the 60-day ISP grant program period is not
sufficient time to prepare and submit the required ISP application (due
14 days from the date of the IA declaration), hire staff, initiate
contracts with local mental health providers and provide immediate
response activities to those impacted by the disaster, (3) the
immediate availability of CCP services following a major disaster is
recommended to mitigate the psychological impact to first responders,
disaster survivors, etc., and to expedite funding to states, and
finally, (4) that certain sections of the ISP application should be
pre-approved by FEMA prior to a disaster to expedite access to disaster
funding so that staff can be hired and supplies and equipment obtained
quickly to implement the program.
    All comments received are issues currently being reviewed by the
Community Services Section within the Individual Assistance Division of
FEMA's Recovery Directorate. A FEMA economist is currently reviewing
program data to determine what policy and/or program changes (to
include possible regulatory changes) are necessary to ensure that the
CCP program is cost effective, efficient and not overly cumbersome to
States applying for the program.

Collection of Information

    Title: Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program.
    Type of information collection: Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-0085.

or greater than the level of safety maintained without the exemptions
for these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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.

Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 13 individuals who have requested renewal of
their exemptions in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 13 applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are:

Kevin G. Clem (SD)
Rocky J. Lachney (LA)
Herman G. Lovell (OR)
Gerard L. Pagan (NC)
Danny C. Pope (IL)
David A. Rice (PA)
Michael J. Robinson (WV)
Levi A. Shetler (OH)
Rick E. Smith (IL)
Juan E. Sotero (FL)
Fred L. Stotts (OK)
Randall K. Tyler (AL)
Steven R. Wetlesen (AL)

    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 was granted; or (3)
continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals
and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315.

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 13 applicants has satisfied the
entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (66 FR 17743; 66 FR 33990; 68 FR 35772; 70 FR 33937; 72 FR
32705; 74 FR 26464; 76 FR 34135; 76 FR 64169; 76 FR 75943). Each of
these 13 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 each
renewal applicant for a period of two years is likely to achieve a
level of safety equal to that existing without the exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by November 29, 2013.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 13 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was made on the merits of each
case and made only after careful consideration of the comments received
to its notices of applications. The notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That
information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register
publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.
