ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2012-0880; FRL-9338-5]

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires any person
who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) a new

chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Chemical Substances
Inventory (TSCA Inventory)) to notify EPA and comply with the statutory
provisions pertaining to the manufacture of new chemicals. In addition
under TSCA, EPA is required to publish in the Federal Register a notice
of receipt of a premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a
test marketing exemption (TME), and to publish in the Federal Register
periodic status reports on the new chemicals under review and the
receipt of notices of commencement (NOC) to manufacture those
chemicals. This document, which covers the period from October 15, 2012
to October 31, 2012, and provides the required notice and status
report, consists of the PMNs and TMEs, both pending or expired, and the
NOC to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received under
TSCA section 5 during this time period.

DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before January 14, 2013.

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or
email. The regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email
comment directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov, your
email address will be automatically captured and included as part of
the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index
available at http://www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index,
some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other
material, such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only
in hard copy. Publicly available docket materials are available
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in
hard copy, at the OPPT Docket. The OPPT Docket is located in the EPA
Docket Center (EPA/DC) at Rm. 3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301 Constitution
Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room hours of
operation are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action
applies directly to the submitter of the PMNs addressed in 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. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.

    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Why is EPA taking this action?

    EPA classifies a chemical substance as either an ``existing''
chemical or a ``new'' chemical. Any chemical substance that is not on
EPA's TSCA Inventory is classified as a ``new chemical,'' while those
that are on the TSCA Inventory are classified as an ``existing
chemical.'' For more information about the TSCA Inventory go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/inventory.htm. Anyone who plans to
manufacture or import a new chemical substance for a non-exempt
commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a
PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes
EPA to allow persons, upon application, to manufacture (includes
import) or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance
subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section
5(a), for ``test marketing'' purposes, which is referred to as a test
marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about the
requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish
in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application
for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic status
reports on the new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from October 15, 2012 to October 31, 2012, consists of the PMNs
and TMEs, both pending or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture a new
chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this
time period.

III. Receipt and Status Reports

by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Summary of the Application

    1. An Adviser will serve as the investment adviser to each
Subadvised Series pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the
applicable Trust (the ``Investment Management

Agreement'').\1\ An Adviser will provide each Subadvised Series with
continuous investment management services, subject to the supervision
of, and policies established by, the board of trustees of each Trust
(each, a ``Board''). Each Investment Management Agreement permits the
Adviser, subject to the approval of the applicable Board, to delegate
to one or more sub-advisers (each, a ``Sub-Adviser'' and collectively,
the ``Sub-Advisers'') the responsibility to provide the day-to-day
portfolio investment management of each Subadvised Series, subject to
the supervision and direction of the Adviser.\2\ The primary
responsibility for managing each Subadvised Series will remain vested
in the Adviser. The Adviser will hire, evaluate, allocate assets to and
oversee the Sub-Advisers, including determining whether a Sub-Adviser
should be terminated, at all times subject to the authority of the
applicable Board.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicants request relief with respect to the named
Applicants, as well as to any future series of the Trusts and any
other registered open-end management investment company or series
thereof that: (a) Is advised by the Initial Adviser, its successors,
or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control
with the Initial Adviser or its successors (each, an ``Adviser'');
(b) uses the multi-manager structure described in the application;
and (c) complies with the terms and conditions set forth in the
application (each, a ``Subadvised Series''). For purposes of the
requested order, ``successor'' is limited to an entity that results
from a reorganization into another jurisdiction or a change in the
type of business organization.
    \2\ A ``Sub-Adviser'' for a Subadvised Series is (1) an indirect
or direct ``wholly-owned subsidiary'' (as such term is defined in
the Act) of the Adviser for that Subadvised Series, or (2) a sister
company of the Adviser for that Subadvised Series that is an
indirect or direct ``wholly-owned subsidiary'' of the same company
that, indirectly or directly, wholly owns the Adviser (each of (1)
and (2) a ``Wholly-Owned Sub-Adviser'' and collectively, the
``Wholly-Owned Sub-Advisers''), or (3) not an ``affiliated person''
(as such term is defined in section 2(a)(3) of the Act) of the
Subadvised Series or the Adviser, except to the extent that an
affiliation arises solely because the Sub-Adviser serves as a sub-
adviser to a Subadvised Series (``Non-Affiliated Sub-Advisers'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. Applicants request an exemption to permit the Adviser, subject
to Board approval, to hire certain Sub-Advisers pursuant to Sub-
Advisory Agreements and materially amend existing Sub-Advisory
Agreements without obtaining the shareholder approval required under
section 15(a) of the Act and rule 18f-2 under the Act.\3\ Applicants
also seek an exemption from the Disclosure Requirements to permit a
Subadvised Series to disclose (as both a dollar amount and a percentage
of the Subadvised Series' net assets): (a) The aggregate fees paid to
the Adviser and any Wholly-Owned Sub-Adviser; (b) the aggregate fees
paid to Non-Affiliated Sub-Advisers; and (c) the fee paid to each
Affiliated Sub-Adviser (collectively, ``Aggregate Fee Disclosure'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The requested relief will not extend to any sub-adviser,
other than a Wholly-Owned Sub-Adviser, who is an affiliated person,
as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the Act, of the Subadvised Series,
any Trust or of the Adviser, other than by reason of serving as a
sub-adviser to one or more of the Subadvised Series (``Affiliated
Sub-Adviser'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief
will be subject to the terms and conditions stated in the application.
Such terms and conditions provide for, among other safeguards,
appropriate disclosure to Subadvised Series shareholders and
notification about sub-advisory changes and enhanced Board oversight to
protect the interests of the Subadvised Series' shareholders.
    4. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt
any person, security, or transaction or any class or classes of
persons, securities, or transactions from any provisions of the Act, or
any rule thereunder, if such relief is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest and consistent with the protection of investors and
purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the Act.
Applicants believe that the requested relief meets this standard
because, as further explained in the application, the Investment
Management Agreements will remain subject to shareholder approval while
the role of the Sub-Advisers is substantially similar to that of
individual portfolio managers, so that requiring shareholder approval
of Sub-Advisory Agreements would impose unnecessary delays and expenses
on the Subadvised Series.
    Applicants believe that the requested relief from the Disclosure
Requirements meets this standard because it will improve the Adviser's
ability to negotiate fees paid to the Sub-Advisers that are more
advantageous for the Subadvised Series.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.

EPA REGISTRATION DIVISION COMPANY NOTICE OF FILING FOR PESTICIDE
PETITIONS PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER

Summary of Petition

EPA has received a pesticide petition ([insert petition number]) from
Productos Químicos y Alimenticios OSKU S.A. (OSKU), 5212 El Guanaco,
Huechuraba,  Santiago, Chile proposing, pursuant to section 408(d) of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to
amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a tolerance for residues of sulfur
dioxide (from sodium metabisulfite) in or on the raw agricultural
commodity blueberries at 10 parts per million (ppm).  Adorno & Yoss, LLP
of Washington, D.C. serves as the agent for OSKU.  EPA has determined
that the petition contains data or information regarding the elements
set forth in section 408 (d)(2) of  FDDCA; however, EPA has not fully
evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether
the data supports granting of the petition. Additional data may be
needed before EPA rules on the petition.

A. Residue Chemistry

1. Plant metabolism.

Residues studies (OPPTS 860.1300) were conducted in postharvest
blueberries in order to characterize the fate of sulfur dioxide in the
fruit.  The residue of concern is sulfur dioxide released from sodium
metabisulfite which is contained in pads as a sole active ingredient.
The active ingredient sodium metabisulfite in the pads releases sulfur
dioxide when it absorbs moisture generated by blueberries.  Sulfur
dioxide generating pads have been registered for use on post-harvest
table grapes as a fungicide.  The metabolism of sulfur dioxide is well
known in the literature. (See Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED)
– Inorganic Sulfites, May 2007, which is available at the following
EPA web site: http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/inorganicsulfites.pdf.)

2. Analytical method.

An adequate residue analytical method is available for enforcement
purposes.  The modified Monier-Williams method, which is the official
method of analysis approved by the Association of Official Analytical
Chemists (AOAC), is listed in 40 CFR Appendix B to Part 425.

3. Magnitude of residues.

The residue studies were performed in the United States under laboratory
and commercial conditions in order to determine the magnitude of the
residue in blueberries.

B. Toxicological Profile

Sulfiting agents have been used for centuries in food processing as
sanitizing agents, preservatives, inhibitors of undesirable
microorganisms in fermentation, inhibitors of browning and discoloration
during the preparation, storage, and distribution of many foods, and in
other uses.  Sulfiting agents, including sulfur dioxide (SO2) and SO2
generating sodium metabisulfite, are listed as the Generally Recognized
As Safe (GRAS) status by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with
limitations, as food preservatives, while the pesticidal use of
sulfating agents on grapes falls under EPA’s jurisdiction.  EPA
established a tolerance limit of 10 ppm for sulfur dioxide.  40 CFR
180.444.  Under section 408(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (FFDCA), EPA reassessed this tolerance in May 2007.  Sufficient data
were available to support the reassessment of the tolerance.  An
assessment of the toxic effects caused by sulfur dioxide is discussed in
the Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) – Inorganic Sulfites,
EPA, May 2007, which is available at the following EPA web site:
http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/inorganicsulfites.pdf.

1. Animal metabolism.

The metabolism of sulfur dioxide in mammals is adequately understood.
(See Toxicological Profile for Sulfur Dioxide, U.S. Department of Health
and Human Service, December 1998, which is available at the following
web site: http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp116.pdf.)

2. Metabolite toxicology.

The metabolism of sulfur dioxide is adequately known.  (See
Toxicological Profile for Sulfur Dioxide, U.S. Department of Health and
Human Service, December 1998, which is available at the following web
site: http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp116.pdf.)

3. Endocrine disruption.

Reproductive effects were not observed in rats exposed to 5-30 ppm
sulfur dioxide for a period from 9 days prior to mating until 12-14 days
of pregnancy; or in mice exposed to 25 ppm sulfur dioxide 7 hours/day on
gestation days 6-15; or in rabbits exposed to 70 ppm sulfur dioxide 7
hours/day on gestation days 6-18.  (See Toxicological Profile for Sulfur
Dioxide, U.S. Department of Health and Human Service, December 1998,
which is available at the following web site:
http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp116.pdf.)

C. Aggregate Exposure

Based on the use pattern of sulfur dioxide and sodium metabisulfite, EPA
has determined that aggregate exposure to sulfites does not pose a risk
concern.  (See Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) – Inorganic
Sulfites, EPA, May 2007, which is available at the following EPA web
site: http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/inorganicsulfites.pdf.)

1. Dietary exposure.

i. Food.

Sulfur dioxide (21 CFR 182.3862) and sodium metabisulfite (21 CFR
182.3766) are listed as GRAS by the FDA, with limitations, as food
preservatives.  Sulfiting agents are found in many foods, primarily as a
result of the GRAS preservative use.  It is estimated the sulfite
concentrations of >100 ppm may be found in dried fruits (excluding dark
raisins and prunes), lemon and lime juices, wine, molasses and
sauerkraut juice.  Dried potatoes, grape juice, wine vinegar, gravies,
fruit topping, and maraschino cherries may contain between 50 and 100
ppm sulfur dioxide.  Foods containing between 10 ppm and 50 ppm include
pectin, fresh shrimp, corn syrup, sauerkraut, pickled foods, corn
starch, hominy, frozen potatoes, maple syrup, imported jams and jellies
and fresh mushrooms.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the use of
appropriate labeling for alerting individuals who cannot tolerate
sulfites.  After receiving and reviewing reports of adverse reactions in
certain individuals following ingestion of sulfating agents used as
preservatives in food products, beverages, and fresh fruits and
vegetables, the FDA required ingredient labels to list sulfite
concentrations in excess of 10 ppm.

The uses of products containing inorganic sulfites are limited to use as
indoor fumigants and as fungicidal control agents on grapes. A tolerance
limit of 10 ppm (expressed as sulfite) for sulfur dioxide is established
in 40 CFR 180.444, and sufficient date are available to support the
reassessment of this tolerance.  This 10 ppm tolerance is relatively low
compared to concentrations of sulfites in many common foods and viewed
as GRAS by FDA.  Further this level for which FDA requires labeling to
alert sulfite-sensitive individuals.  Therefore, residues resulting from
the postharvest use of sulfur dioxide and sodium metabisulfite on grapes
are not expected to be at a level of concern for the general population
or any population subgroups.  OSKU believes the proposed 10 ppm
tolerance for sulfur dioxide on blueberries would not constitute a level
of concern for the general population or any population subgroups.

ii. Drinking water.

Based on the use pattern and fate characteristics of these chemicals,
EPA has concluded that it does not have any drinking water concerns for
sulfur dioxide and sodium metabisulfite.  (See Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) – Inorganic Sulfites, EPA, May 2007, which
is available at the following EPA web site:
http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/inorganicsulfites.pdf.)

2. Non-dietary exposure.

Since sulfur dioxide is primarily present in gaseous form, the general
public is exposed to it mostly by inhaling contaminated air.  Exposures
would be expected to be highest near industrial activities that involve
fuel combustion.  Occupational exposures to sulfur dioxide are
associated with workers in steel processing, refinery, and chemical
plants.  It has been estimated that approximately 600,000 American
workers may be occupationally exposed to sulfur dioxide.  Some of the
highest exposures occur when it is a by-product, as in the metal
smelting industry, and in the processing or combustion of high-sulfur
coal

or oil.  (See HSDB 1998, Hazardous Substances Data Bank, National
Library of Medicine, National Toxicology Information Program, February
1998.)

Levels of occupational exposure vary from industry to industry.  Sulfite
pulp worker exposure fluctuates but reaches levels greater than 10 ppm
(26 mg/m3) in the 1950´s (studies in Finland, Norway, and the United
States).  (See IARC. 1992. IARC monographs on the evaluation of the
carcinogenic risk of chemicals to man: Occupational exposures to mists
and vapours from strong inorganic acids, and other industrial chemicals.
Vol. 54. Lyon, France: World Health Organization, International Agency
for Research on Cancer.)  Because of modernization of facilities and
processes, these levels have been falling. Roasting of ores and the
combustion of sulfur-containing fuels in the metal industries have
resulted in workplace exposure concentration means of 1-10 ppm (2.6-26
mg/m3) in copper smelters and 1 ppm (2.6 mg/m3) or less in other
operations. Occupational exposure levels with a mean >1 ppm (2.6 mg/m3)
have been measured during sulfuric acid and superphosphate fertilizer
manufacture as well as during firefighting.

No information was found regarding the number of people potentially
exposed in the vicinity of hazardous waste sites. However, since sulfur
dioxide has been found near hazardous waste sites, people living near
them may be exposed to higher than background levels.

D. Cumulative Effects

Section 408 (b)(2)(D)(v) of the FFDCA requires that,  when considering
whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance,  the Agency
consider “available information” concerning the cumulative effects
of a particular pesticide residues and “other substances that have a
common mechanism of toxicity”.  EPA does not have, at this time,
available data to determine whether inorganic sulfites, including sulfur
dioxide, have a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances.
Unlike other pesticides for which EPA has followed a cumulative risk
approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity,  EPA has not made a
common mechanism of toxicity finding as to inorganic sulfites, including
sulfur dioxide, and any other substances,  and inorganic sulfites do not
appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances.

E. Safety Determination

1. U.S. population.

EPA has determined that taking into consideration of all available
information on sulfur dioxide and sodium metabisulfite, including the
specific use pattern and limited exposure potential, FDA’s
classification of GRAS, as well as the historical presence of sodium
metabisulfite in cosmetics and hair care products, the use of sulfur
dioxide and sodium metabisulfite on postharvest grapes is unlikely to
pose a significant risk to the general

population or any population subgroup.  (See Reregistration Eligibility
Decision (RED) – Inorganic Sulfites, EPA, May 2007, which is available
at the following EPA web site:
http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/inorganicsulfites.pdf

.)   OSKU believes that the use of sulfur dioxide and sodium
metabisulfite on postharvest blueberries would not pose a significant
risk to the general population.

2. Infants and children.

There is sufficient toxicological information for sulfur dioxide and
sodium metabisulfite to address FQPA considerations.  The available
information indicates that there is no evidence of increased
quantitative or qualitative susceptibility of the offspring after in
utero or post-natal exposure. Based on this information, OSKU believes
that there is no concern, at this time, for increased sensitivity to
infants and children to sulfur dioxide and sodium metabisulfite when
used on posthaverst blueberries.

F. International Tolerances

There is currently no Maximum Residue Level (MRL) established for sulfur
dioxide on blueberries by the Codex Alimentarius Commission.  However,
OSKU is aware that New Zealand and the European Community are
considering the inclusion of the use of sulfur dioxide on blueberries
with permitted sulfur dioxide residues of up to 10 ppm.

Records Governing Off-the-Record Communications; Public Notice

    This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of
the receipt of prohibited and exempt off-the-record communications.
    Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, September 22, 1999) requires Commission
decisional employees, who make or receive a prohibited or exempt off-
the-record communication relevant to the merits of a contested
proceeding, to deliver to the Secretary of the Commission, a copy of
the communication, if written, or a summary of the substance of any
oral communication.
    Prohibited communications are included in a public, non-decisional
file associated with, but not a part of, the decisional record of the
proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the prohibited
communication and any responses thereto should become a part of the
decisional record, the prohibited off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to respond to any facts or
contentions made in a prohibited off-the-record communication, and may
request that the Commission place the prohibited communication and
responses thereto in the decisional record. The Commission will grant
such a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. Any
person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable proceeding in accordance with
Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
    Exempt off-the-record communications are included in the decisional
record of the proceeding, unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40 CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e)(1)(v).
    The following is a list of off-the-record communications recently
received by the Secretary of the Commission. The communications listed
are grouped by docket numbers in ascending order. These filings are
available for electronic review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number,
