14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-27747; Directorate Identifier 2007-CE-030-AD;
Amendment 39-16782; AD 2009-10-09 R2]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are revising an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 150F, 150G, 150H, 150J,
150K, 150L, 150M, A150K, A150L, A150M, F150F, F150G, F150H, F150J,
F150K, F150L, F150M, FA150K, FA150L, FRA150L, FA150M, FRA150M, 152,
A152, F152, and FA152 airplanes. That AD currently requires either
installing a placard prohibiting spins and other acrobatic maneuvers in
the airplane or replacing the rudder stop, the rudder stop bumper, and
the attachment hardware with a rudder stop modification kit. This new
AD requires a change to the modification kit and removal of a small
amount of material from the rudder horn assembly for those that have
not yet complied with the existing AD or for those who can not comply
with the existing AD (because they were unable to obtain full rudder
travel with the existing kits). This AD was prompted by operators who
have reported difficulty in obtaining full rudder travel with the
existing modification kit. We are issuing this AD to revise the kits to
use longer rivets and allow a small amount of material to be removed
from the rudder horn assembly, which allows operators to obtain full
rudder travel.

DATES: This AD is effective September 12, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of September 12,
2011.
    We must receive any comments on this AD by October 11, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On October 27, 2009, we issued AD 2009-10-09 R1, amendment 39-16074
(74 FR 57408, November 6, 2009), for certain Cessna Aircraft Company
(Cessna) Models 150F, 150G, 150H, 150J, 150K, 150L, 150M, A150K, A150L,
A150M, F150F, F150G, F150H, F150J, F150K, F150L, F150M, FA150K, FA150L,
FRA150L, FA150M, FRA150M, 152, A152, F152, and FA152 airplanes. That AD
requires installation of a placard prohibiting spins and other
acrobatic maneuvers in the airplane or replacement of the rudder stop,
rudder stop bumper, and attachment hardware with a new rudder stop
modification kit and replacement of the safety wire with jamnuts. The
revision was issued to clarify certain model and serial number
designations, remove the duplicate requirement of replacing the safety
wire with jamnuts, and clarify the conditional acceptability of using
modification kit part number (P/N) SK152-25 as a terminating action to
that AD. That AD resulted from follow-on investigations of two
accidents where the rudder was found in the over-travel position with
the stop plate hooked over the stop bolt heads. While neither of the
accident aircraft met type design, investigations revealed that
aircraft in full conformity with type design can exceed the travel
limits set by the rudder stops. We issued that AD to prevent the rudder
from traveling past the normal travel limit. Operation in this non-
certificated control position is unacceptable and could cause
undesirable consequences, such as contact between the rudder and the
elevator.

Actions Since AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2009-10-09 R1 (74 FR 57408, November 6, 2009),
compliance with the existing AD required operators to check for full
rudder travel with the installation of the existing kits (P/N SK152-24A
and P/N SK152-25A). Some operators have reported difficulty in
obtaining full rudder travel with these kits. To correct this issue,
Cessna has revised the kits to use longer rivets and allow a small
amount of material to be removed from the rudder horn assembly, which
allows operators to obtain full rudder travel.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Cessna Aircraft Company Service Bulletin SEB01-1,
Revision 1, dated March 22, 2011; Cessna Aircraft Company Service Kit
SK152-24B, dated March 22, 2011; and Cessna Aircraft Company Service
Kit SK152-25B, dated March 22, 2011. The service information describes
procedures for replacement of the rudder stop, rudder stop bumper, and
attachment hardware with a new rudder stop modification kit.

FAA's Determination

    We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires installation of a placard prohibiting spins and
other acrobatic maneuvers in the airplane or replacement of the rudder
stop, rudder stop bumper, and attachment hardware with a new rudder
stop modification kit.

Change to Existing AD

    This AD would retain certain requirements of AD 2009-10-09 R1 (74
FR 57408, November 6, 2009). Since AD 2009-10-09 R1 was issued, the AD
format has been revised, and certain paragraphs have been rearranged.
As a result, the corresponding paragraph identifiers have changed in
this AD, as listed in the following table:

                      Revised Paragraph Identifier
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                      Corresponding  requirement in this
  Requirement in AD 2009-10-09 R1                     AD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
          paragraph (e)                        paragraph (g)
          paragraph (f)                        paragraph (h)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    This action incorporates revised modification kits that can be used
by all airplanes that would need the modification incorporated in the
future and does not require any additional work for those airplanes
with the modification already incorporated (see table 3). Therefore, we
find that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
unnecessary and that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments before it becomes effective. However, we invite
you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send
your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include
the docket number FAA-2007-27747 and directorate identifier 2007-CE-
030-AD at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite
comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy
aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by the
closing date and may amend this AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 17,090 airplanes of U.S. registry.

Estimated Costs

    We estimate the following costs to do the insertion of the
operational limitation:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
              Action                    Labor cost             Parts cost             product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert limitations and placard...  1 work-hour x $85    Not applicable..........             $85      $1,452,650
                                    per hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do the modification:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
               Action                        Labor cost            Parts cost         product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install a rudder stop modification    4 work-hours x $85 per                 $90            $430      $7,348,700
 kit.                                  hour = $340.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The new requirements of this AD add no additional economic burden.
The increased estimated cost of this AD is due to increased labor cost
from 2009 when AD 2009-10-09 R1 (74 FR 57408, November 6, 2009) was
issued.

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 products 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, 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.

    Note: AD 2009-10-09 R1 (74 FR 57408, November 6, 2009) clarified
the applicability of AD 2009-10-09 (74 FR 22429, May 3, 2009),
eliminated a duplicate requirement for replacement of safety wire
with jamnuts, and clarified the intent of the conditional
acceptability of using modification kit part number (P/N) SK152-25
as a terminating requirement to the AD. No further action is
required for those already in compliance with AD 2009-10-09 R1,
which included verification of full rudder travel as part of the kit
work.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association
(ATA) of America Code 2720, Rudder Control System.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    Aircraft in full conformity with type design can exceed the
travel limits set by the rudder stops. We are issuing this AD to
prevent the rudder from traveling past the normal travel limit.
Operation in this non-certificated control position is unacceptable
and could cause undesirable consequences, such as contact between
the rudder and the elevator.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Actions

    To address this problem, you must do either the actions in
option 1 or option 2 of this AD, unless already done:

                     Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)
                                 May 02, 2019

What is a Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)?
 A summary of U.S. usage for a pesticidal active ingredient by agricultural crop.
 The information presented is not proprietary, business confidential, or trade secret.
What does it contain?
 Pesticide usage statistics for a single active ingredient only.
 Available U.S., national summary statistics for pesticide usage information by crop.
 Average pounds of active ingredient applied  -  Annual average pounds of the pesticide reported applied for each agricultural crop (i.e., for surveyed states, not for the entire United States). Values are calculated by merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging across all observations within a year for each data source, averaging across data sources within years, averaging across year, and then rounding.  Any surveyed year without reported usage for the AI is included as a value of zero pounds applied in the calculation of the average. Values are rounded using common rounding rules (i.e., the half round up method).  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated values between 500 & <1,000,000 are rounded to 1 place value.  Estimated values of 1,000,000 or greater are rounded to the hundred thousands' place value. (Examples: 478 would be reported as "<500"; 43,873 would be reported as "40,000"; 47,873,901 would be reported as "47,900,000")
 Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, & rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.
 Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum annual average value reported across all data sources, across all years. The value is rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.
What are the data sources used?
 USDA-NASS (United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service)  -  pesticide usage data from 2008 to 2017. (available at https://quickstats.nass.usda.gov/)
 Agricultural Market Research Data (AMRD)  -  pesticide usage data from 2008 to 2017.
 California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) Pesticide Use Reporting (PUR) data for 2007 to 2016. (available at http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/pur/purmain.htm)
What should I consider when interpreting the reported data?
 The surveys sample from enough states to represent 80% or more of the crop production, in most cases. In rare cases, the survey may sample fewer states than required to reach 80% of the crop production, such deviations are based on the scope of the survey and availability of resources.
 Usage statistics are included only for surveyed crops with reported, quantitative use of the active ingredient during the sampling period (i.e., 2008 to 2017).
 Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply zero usage. There are several reasons for this.  As with any sampling data, it is possible to some usage may be overlooked. Also, even if usage is noted in data sources, it may not be quantified.  In such instances, site and associated usage are not reported in the SLUA.
 Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the available surveys neither collect, nor report, usage for those crops (e.g., small acreage crops).
 Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control, etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to receive these estimates.
 Some sites have reported usage without a registered §3 use.  This usage could be due to various factors, including, but not limited to Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the chemical, data collection errors, and experimental use permits (EUPs).

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc (RR) Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) that applies to all RR RB211-Trent 553-61, 553A2-61, 556-61,
556A2-61, 556B-61, 556B2-61, 560-61, 560A2-61, 768-60, 772-60, 772B-60,
875-17, 877-17, 884-17, 884B-17, 892-17, 892B-17, and 895-17 turbofan
engines. The existing AD currently requires inspecting the
intermediate-pressure (IP) compressor rotor shaft rear balance land for
cracks. Since we issued that AD, we received reports of one RB211-Trent
700 and two additional RB211-Trent 800 IP compressor rotor shafts that
have been found cracked. This proposed AD would continue to require
initial inspections, add additional inspections, and an optional
terminating action. The cracking identified above could lead to IP
compressor rotor shaft failure, uncontained engine failure, and damage
to the airplane. We are proposing this AD to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 2,
2011.

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

Discussion

    On August 25, 2008, we issued AD 2008-18-08, Amendment 39-15665 (73
FR 52201, September 9, 2008), for all Rolls-Royce plc RB211-Trent 553-
61, 553A2-61, 556-61, 556A2-61, 556B-61, 556B2-61, 560-61, 560A2-61,
768-60, 772-60, 772B-60, 875-17, 877-17, 884-17, 884B-17, 892-17, 892B-
17, and 895-17 turbofan engines. That AD requires a onetime eddy
current inspection (ECI) of the rear balance land of the IP compressor
rotor shaft for cracks. That AD resulted from reports of

cracking on the rear balance land of IP compressor rotor shafts. We
issued that AD to detect cracking on the rear balance land of the IP
compressor rotor shaft. Cracking on the rear balance land on the IP
compressor rotor shaft can lead to failure of the rotor shaft and
damage to the engine.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2008-18-08, (73 FR 52201, September 9, 2008), RR
reports that they have introduced an optional terminating action to the
repetitive inspections required by that AD. RR also reported that for
those operators not adopting the optional terminating action, improved
inspection methods for the RB211-Trent 700 and RB211-Trent 800 turbofan
engines are necessary. Also, EASA issued AD 2010-0266, dated December
21, 2010, and AD 2010-0266R1, dated January 6, 2011, to require
repetitive on-wing and in-shop ECIs on RB211-Trent 700 and RB211-Trent
800 engines and repetitive in-shop visual inspections on the RB211-
Trent 500, RB211-Trent 700, and RB211-Trent 800 engines. EASA issued
their ADs because RR had reported finding additional cracks on the IP
compressor rotor shaft of two in-service RB211-Trent 800 engines and on
one in-service RB211-Trent 700 engine. The cracking had initiated from
frettage marks caused by balance weights. RR reports that stress
analysis has shown that the cracking presents a possible threat to the
rotor integrity. We evaluated the data supplied by EASA and RR, and
concur that the improved inspections for cracks on the balance land of
the IP compressor rotor shaft are required. We have evaluated the
optional terminating action and determined it to be effective.
    These cracks, if present, could result in an unsafe condition
leading to IP compressor rotor shaft failure and damage to the engine.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed RR Alert Service Bulletins (ASB) No. RB.211-72-AF260,
Revision 5, dated July 7, 2011, ASB No. RB.211-72-AG085, Revision 2,
dated July 7, 2011, ASB No. RB.211-72-AG264, Revision 5, dated March
21, 2011, ASB No. RB.211-72-AG270, Revision 4, dated March 21, 2011,
and Service Bulletin No. RB.211-72-G448, Revision 3, dated July 7, 2011
which provide information for the inspections required by this AD.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require:
     For the RB211-Trent 700 and RB211-Trent 800 engines, on
wing initial and repetitive borescope inspections and when in the shop,
repetitive ECIs for cracks on the rear balance land; and
     For the RB211-Trent 500 engines, initial and repetitive
in-shop visual inspections or ECIs for cracks on the rear balance land.
    This proposed AD would also add an optional terminating action to
the repetitive inspection requirements for the RB211-Trent 700 and
RB211-Trent 800 engines.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 136 engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would
take about 6 work-hours per engine to perform the proposed inspections
and that the average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these
figures, we estimate the total cost of the proposed AD to U.S.
operators to be $69,360.

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 products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have 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 that the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

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

    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]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing airworthiness directive
(AD) 2008-18-08, Amendment 39-15665 (73 FR 52201, September 9, 2008),
and adding the following new AD:

Rolls-Royce plc: Docket No. FAA-2007-28059; Directorate Identifier
2007-NE-13-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by December 2,
2011.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 2008-18-08, Amendment 39-15665, (73 FR
52201, September 9, 2008).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-Trent 553-61,
553A2-61, 556-61, 556A2-61, 556B-61, 556B2-61, 560-61, 560A2-61,
768-60, 772-60, 772B-60, 875-17, 877-17, 884-17, 884B-17, 892-17,
892B-17, and 895-17 turbofan engines.

(d) Unsafe Condition

    We are superseding AD 2008-18-08 because additional cracking on
RB211-Trent 700 and RB211-Trent 800 intermediate-pressure (IP)
compressor rotor shafts has been found since that AD was issued.

and arguments in support of their pesticide petition. This summary was

position of the petitioner.>

<I. BioSafe Systems, LLC Petition Summary>

<	[Insert petition number]>

<A. Product Name and Proposed Use Practice

Peroxyacetic Acid>

<	For use to control plant pathogenic and horticultural diseases in
soil, on plants, turf, seeds, food crops and commodities, post harvest
commodities, greenhouse surfaces and other agricultural, horticultural
and commercial use sites. For use as a bactericide/fungicide/algaecide
on hard, non-porous surfaces, tools, equipment, and structures in
agricultural settings, greenhouses and post harvest packinghouse
applications.  For use in treatment of agricultural spray water,
livestock water, irrigation water, and water treatment in packinghouse
applications.>

<B. Product Identity/Chemistry>

<	1. Identity of the pesticide and corresponding residues.

Residues of peroxyacetic acid are not expected because peroxyacetic acid
reacts immediately on contact with materials such as food, reducing
agents and catalysts, and is degraded to moieties which present no
toxicological concern (Reregistration Eligibility Decision, Peroxy
Compounds, U.S. EPA 738-R-93-030). The ultimate degradation products of
peroxyacetic acid are acetic acid (which is generally regarded as safe
in food up 0.15 %, 21 CFR 184.1,005), water and oxygen. The degradation
products of peroxyacetic acid are not of toxicological concern.

Finally, it is noted that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
approved peroxyacetic acid for direct food contact for use in wash water
or to assist in the peeling of fruits and vegetables (21 CFR 173.315),
and is also approved as a sanitizer on food contact surfaces (21CFR
178-1010). Co-products hydrogen peroxide (21 CFR 582.1366) and acetic
acid (21 CFR 582.1005) are listed as FDA GRAS in animal feeds.

>

<	2. Magnitude of residues at the time of harvest and method used to
determine the residue. Not Applicable.>

<	3. A statement of why an analytical method of detecting and measuring
the levels of the pesticide residue are not needed. Due to the fact an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance without numerical
limitation on residue levels is granted for peroxyacetic acid, an
enforcement analytical method is not needed. Peroxyacetic acid is used
in low concentrations and rapidly degrades into acetic acid, oxygen and
water. >

<C. Mammalian Toxicological Profile>

<	Peroxyacetic acid at a concentration of 2.0% has a pH of 0.82, and at
5.0% has a pH of 0.74, at which concentration the Agency assumes a
Toxicity Category I for eye and skin irritation.  BioSafe Systems has
submitted toxicology information for aqueous solutions containing
peroxyacetic acid concentrations between 0.15% and 15%. The 2.0%
peroxyacetic acid concentrate is diluted prior to use according to label
directions, a minimum of 1:32 (12 ounces to 3 gallons, or 384 oz) with
water The 5.0% peroxyacetic acid concentrate is diluted prior to use
according to label directions, a minimum of 1:500 (3 gallons to 1500
gallons) with water.  Thus, the greatest concentration of peroxyacetic
acid in the 2.0% product at the time of application would contain a
maximum of approximately 0.07% peroxyacetic acid, and the greatest
concentration of peroxyacetic acid in the 5.0% product at the time of
application would contain a maximum of approximately 0.01% peroxyacetic
acid.

Information reported by The European Centre for Ecotoxicology and
Toxicology of Chemicals (ECETOC) demonstrated that a solution of 5.6 %
peroxyacetic acid has an acute oral LD50 of 3,622 mg/kg, in female and
male rats together (toxicity category III), a solution of 4.89%
peroxyacetic acid has an acute dermal LD50 of 1,040 mg/kg in rabbits
(toxicity category II), and a solution of  4.5% peroxyacetic acid has an
 LC50 of > 5,350 mg/m3 (5.35 mg/L) in rats (toxicity category IV). The
ECETOC Task Force determined that solutions containing peroxyacetic acid
at concentrations of 0.2% and higher were severely irritating or
corrosive to the eye. A solution containing 0.15 % peroxyacetic acid
caused mild irritation in the rabbit eye study, and a concentration of
0.034 resulted in very slight irritation.

Peroxyacetic acid is currently EPA registered as a pesticide for
antimicrobial use against viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Peroxyacetic
acid is also EPA registered for use in dairy/cheese processing plants,
agricultural premises, and food establishments, on food processing
equipment and in pasteurizers in breweries, wineries, and beverage
plants.  Per the Final Rule published for the current peroxyacetic acid
tolerance exemption at 40 CFR Part 180.1196 (FR Volume 65, Number 232,
Pages 75168 -75173, December 1, 2000) that covers those uses, there are
acceptable acute generic data referenced in the Reregistration
Eligibility Document (RED) for Peroxy Compounds (December 1993, Case
4072, EPA 738-R-93-030). Peroxyacetic acid was found to be corrosive and
severely irritating to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes but only
when high concentrations were used. The proposed use patterns involve
low concentrations and are expected to result in a lack of any residues
of toxicological concern. The RED document waived all other non-acute
toxicology data requirements for peroxyacetic acid.

Per the December 2000 Final Rule, no data exists for the subchronic,
chronic, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, developmental and reproductive
toxicity of peroxyacetic acid. However, peroxyacetic acid shares similar
chemical characteristics with hydrogen peroxide which has a more
extensive toxicology data base. For example, peroxyacetic acid and
hydrogen peroxide both decompose into two identical degradates that do
not pose any toxicological concern. These two degradates are oxygen and
water.  Acetic acid is also a degradate of peroxyacetic acid and does
not pose any toxicological concern.

Peroxyacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide also show similar chemical
characteristics for corrosivity, pH, rapid peroxide bond dissociation,
and production of oxygen molecules. Because of these similar chemical
characteristics, and low expected exposures with the proposed uses, the
dose-response toxicology relationships (i.e. adverse effects experienced
only at very high doses) shown by the data for hydrogen peroxide, can
also be expected with peroxyacetic acid. The remaining toxicology
testing requirements for peroxyacetic acid were waived in the RED
because of the similar chemical characteristics, similar expected dose-
response relationships with hydrogen peroxide, low exposure levels under
the proposed uses, and for the reasons given above.

As stated, residues of peroxyacetic acid are not expected because
peroxyacetic acid reacts immediately on contact with materials such as
food, reducing agents and catalysts, and is degraded to moieties which
present no toxicological concern (Reregistration Eligibility Decision,
Peroxy Compounds, U.S. EPA 738-R-93-030). The ultimate degradation
products of peroxyacetic acid are acetic acid (which is generally
regarded as safe in food up 0.15 %, 21 CFR 184.1,005), water and oxygen.
The degradation products of peroxyacetic acid are not of toxicological
concern.

Finally, it is noted that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
approved peroxyacetic acid for direct food contact for use in wash water
or to assist in the peeling of fruits and vegetables (21 CFR 173.315),
and is also approved as a sanitizer on food contact surfaces (21CFR
178-1010). Co-products hydrogen peroxide (21 CFR 582.1366) and acetic
acid (21 CFR 582.1005) are listed as FDA GRAS in animal feeds. >

<D. Aggregate Exposure>

<	1. Dietary exposure.

>

<

	i. Food. U.S. EPA has previously established an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of peroxyacetic acid as an
antimicrobial pesticide, in or on raw agricultural commodities, in
processed commodities, when such residues result from the lawful use of
peroxyacetic acid as an antimicrobial agent on fruits, vegetables, tree
nuts, cereal grains, herbs, and spices up to 100 ppm.

	According to the 1993 RED, peroxyacetic acid is used in dairy/cheese
processing plants, on food-processing equipment and in pasteurizers in
breweries, wineries and beverage plants. While some contact may occur
between treated equipment and food, no residues are expected since only
trace amounts would come in contact with food having contacted treated
equipment and the compound degrades rapidly in air and in contact with
organic materials to acetic acid (which is generally regarded as safe in
food up 0.15 %, see 21 CFR 184.1005), oxygen and water. In addition,
peroxyacetic acid may be safely used on food-processing equipment,
utensils, and other food-contact articles according to the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) (21 CFR 178.1010, Sanitizing Solutions).

	This petition proposes including use of peroxyacetic acid as a
biochemical pesticide to control plant diseases in horticultural,
commercial and agricultural areas. The ingredient would be applied to
soil, plants, turf, seeds, food crops and commodities, post harvest
commodities, surfaces, tools, equipment and structures in agricultural
settings, agricultural spray water, livestock water, and irrigation
water.   Dietary exposure from these uses is possible; however,
peroxyacetic acid reacts immediately upon contact with materials such as
food and degrades to moieties which present no toxicological concern.
The addition to dietary aggregate exposure of peroxyacetic acid as
described in this petition is expected to be zero.>

<	ii. Drinking water. At the proposed application rates, the use of
peroxyacetic acid to treat agricultural food commodities will result in
minimal transfer of residues to potential drinking water supplies. This
is due to the low application rate and rapid degradation of peroxyacetic
acid into acetic acid, oxygen and water, none of which are of
toxicological concern.

	In addition, the degradation products of peroxyacetic acid in aqueous
solutions are acetic acid (which is generally regarded as safe in food
up 0.15%, see 21 CFR 184.1005), water and oxygen. These degradation
products are not of toxicological concern.>

<	2. Non-dietary exposure. According to the 1993 RED, the compound, in
the form of a soluble concentrate/liquid, is used in industrial and
commercial settings.  Peroxyacetic acid is highly reactive and
short-lived because of the inherent instability of the peroxide bond
(O-O bond) and, because the peroxide bond is weak, transformation to
acetic acid, water and oxygen is very highly favored thermodynamically
(1993 RED). The degradation products of peroxyacetic acid in aqueous
solutions are acetic acid (which is generally regarded as safe in food
up 0.15%, see 21 CFR 184.1005), water and oxygen. The degradation
products of peroxyacetic acid are not of toxicological concern.

	The potential for any non-occupational exposure under the use proposed
in this petition to the general population (including children) is
unlikely. Peroxyacetic acid  is proposed in this petition to be used
only at horticultural, commercial and agricultural establishments
(including farms) and is not proposed for use in or around the home.>

<E. Cumulative Effects>

<	When used as proposed, peroxyacetic acid decomposes quickly; there is
no reasonable expectation that residues of these compounds will remain
in human food items in accordance with 40 CFR 180.3. The mode of action
of this pesticide is oxidation. Other chemicals that may share a similar
mode of action are hydrogen peroxide and potassium peroxymonosulfate
sulfate as listed in the 1993 RED. Combining exposures to these
compounds could be appropriate; however, each degrades rapidly (due to
the peroxy bond, the O-O bond) into compounds that are not
toxicologically significant (including water, oxygen, and carbon
dioxide).>

<F. Safety Determination>

<	1. U.S. population. Peroxyacetic acid naturally degrades to acetic
acid (which is generally regarded as safe in food up 0.15%, see 21 CFR
184.1005), water and oxygen which would not pose a health risk to the
U.S. general population. These degradation products are not of
toxicological concern.>

<	2. Infants and children. Peroxyacetic acid naturally degrades to
acetic acid (which is generally regarded as safe in food up 0.15%, see
21 CFR 184.1005), water and oxygen which would not pose a health risk to
the U.S. population subgroup of infants and children. These degradation
products are not of toxicological concern. Residues of peroxyacetic acid
are not expected on food from use of peroxyacetic acid as a biochemical
pesticide on agricultural commodities. Therefore, exposure of the
pesticide chemical (from the use proposed in this petition) to the U.S.
general population should not occur.  There is a reasonable certainty of
no harm to consumers, including infants and children, from aggregate
exposure to peroxyacetic acid.>

<G. Effects on the Immune and Endocrine Systems>

<	Peroxyacetic acid is not structurally similar to any known chemical
capable of producing adverse effects on the endocrine system.  Per the
Final Rule published for the current peroxyacetic acid tolerance
exemption at 40 CFR Part 180.1196 (FR Volume 65, Number 232, Pages 75168
-75173, December 1, 2000), the currently available animal data suggest
no significant endocrine effects from exposure to peroxyacetic acid.>

<H. Existing Tolerances>

<	US EPA Tolerance –

40 CFR Part 180.1196 - Peroxyacetic acid; exemption from the requirement
of a

tolerance.

    (a) An exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is established
for residues of peroxyacetic acid in or on raw agricultural commodities,
in processed commodities, when such residues result from the use of
peroxyacetic acid as an antimicrobial treatment in solutions containing
a diluted end use concentration of peroxyacetic acid up to 100 ppm per
application on fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, cereal grains, herbs, and
spices.

    (b) An exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is established
for residues of peroxyacetic acid, in or on all raw and processed food
commodities when used in sanitizing solutions containing a diluted end-
use concentration of peroxyacetic acid up to 500 ppm, and applied to
tableware, utensils, dishes, pipelines, tanks, vats, fillers,
evaporators, pasteurizers, aseptic equipment, milking equipment, and
other food processing equipment in food handling establishments
including, but not limited to dairies, dairy barns, restaurants, food
service operations, breweries, wineries, and beverage and food
processing plants.

<I. International Tolerances>

<	International –There is no Codex Alimentarium Commission Maximum
Residue Level (MRL) for peroxyacetic acid.>
