and Request for Review, Orlando Melbourne International Airport (MLB),
Melbourne, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Noise Exposure Map Notice and Receipt of Noise Compatibility
Program and Request for Review.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the Noise Exposure Maps (NEM's) submitted by the
Melbourne Airport Authority (Authority, Melbourne, FL) for the Orlando
Melbourne International Airport (MLB), Melbourne, FL under the
provisions of 40 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act) and 14 CFR 150 are in compliance with applicable
requirements. The FAA also announces that it is reviewing a proposed
Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) that was submitted for the Orlando
Melbourne International Airport under Part 150 in conjunction with the
Noise Exposure Maps, and that this program will be approved or
disapproved on or before May 30, 2017.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA's determination on
the Noise Exposure Maps and of the start of its review of the
associated Noise Compatibility Program is December 1, 2016. The public
comment period ends on January 30, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Allan Nagy at the Federal Aviation
Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 5950 Hazeltine
National Drive, Orlando, FL, 32882, Telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Notice announces that the FAA finds
that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted for Orlando Melbourne
International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150, effective December
1, 2016. Furthermore, FAA is reviewing a proposed Noise Compatibility
Program for MLB which will be approved or disapproved on or before May
30, 2017. This notice also announces the availability of this Noise
Compatibility Program for public review and comment.
    Under 49 U.S.C., Section 47503, Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act (the Act), an airport operator may submit to the FAA Noise Exposure
Maps which meet applicable regulations and which depict non-compatible
land uses as of the date of submission of such maps, a description of
projected aircraft operations, and the ways in which such operations
will affect such maps. The Act requires such maps to be developed in
consultation with interested parties in the local community, government
agencies, and persons using the airport.
    An airport operator who has submitted Noise Exposure Maps that are
found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Part 150,
promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a Noise Compatibility
Program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures the operator has
taken or proposes to take to reduce existing non-compatible uses and
prevent the introduction of additional non-compatible uses.
    The Melbourne Airport Authority submitted to the FAA on September
9, 2016 Noise Exposure Maps, descriptions and other documentation that
were produced during the Orlando Melbourne International Airport Part

150 Study conducted between March 1, 2013 and September 9, 2016. It was
requested that the FAA review this material as the Noise Exposure Maps,
as described in Section 47503 of the Act, and that the noise mitigation
measures, to be implemented jointly by the airport and surrounding
communities, be approved as a Noise Compatibility Program under Section
47504 of the Act.
    The FAA has completed its review of the Noise Exposure Maps and
accompanying documentation submitted by the Melbourne Airport
Authority. The documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure
Maps'' as defined in CFR Part 150 Section 150.7 includes: Chapter 2.0
Airport Facilities and Local Airspace, Chapter 5.0 Noise Modeling,
Chapter 6.0 Airport Operational Data, Chapter 7.0 Noise Exposure,
Chapter 8.0 Noise Exposure Maps Certification, Figure 6-1 Modeled
Flight Tracks--East Flow, Figure 6-2 Modeled Flight Tracks--West Flow,
Figure 6-3 Modeled Flight Tracks--Touch and Go and Helicopter, Figure
7-1 2016 Noise Exposure Map, Figure 7-2 Future Land Use, Figure 7-3
2021 Noise Exposure Map, Table 6-1 2016 Annual Operations, Table 6-2
2016 Annual-Average Day Fleet Mix (Itinerant Operations), Table 6-3
2016 Annual-Average Day Fleet Mix (Local Operations), Table 6-4 2021
Annual Operations, Table 6-5 2021 Annual-Average Day Fleet Mix
(Itinerant Operations), Table 6-6 2021 Annual-Average Day Fleet Mix
(Local Operations), Table 6-7 2016 and 2021 Stage Length Percentages,
Table 6-8 2016 and 2021 Runway Use Percentages, Table 6-9 2016 and 2021
Departure Flight Track Use Percentages, Table 6-10 2016 and 2021
Arrival Flight Track Use Percentages, Table 6-11 2016 and 2021 Local
and Helicopter Flight Track Use Percentages, Table 7-1 Land Use Acreage
within Existing (2016) DNL Contours, Table 7-3 2021 DNL Contour Land
Use Impacts. The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is effective on December 1, 2016.
    The FAA's determination on an airport operator's noise exposure
maps is limited to a finding that the maps were developed in accordance
with the procedures contained in Appendix A of CFR Part 150. Such
determination does not constitute approval of the airport operator's
data, information or plans, or a commitment to approve a Noise
Compatibility Program or to fund implementation of that Program. If
questions arise concerning the precise relationship of specific
properties to noise exposure contours depicted on a Noise Exposure Map
submitted under Section 47503 of the Act, it should be noted that the
FAA is not involved in any way in determining the relative locations of
specific properties with regard to the depicted noise exposure
contours, or in interpreting the Noise Exposure Maps to resolve
questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered
by the provisions of Section 47506 of the Act. These functions are
inseparable from the ultimate land use control and planning
responsibilities of local government. These local responsibilities are
not changed in any way under Part 150 or through FAA's review of Noise
Exposure Maps. Therefore, the responsibility for the detailed
overlaying of noise exposure contours onto the maps depicting
properties on the surface rests exclusively with the airport operator
that submitted those maps, or those public agencies and planning
agencies with which consultation is required under Section 47503 of the
Act. The FAA has relied on the certification by the airport operator,
under Section 150.21 of Part 150, that the statutorily required
consultation has been accomplished.
    The FAA has formally received the Noise Compatibility Program for
Orlando Melbourne International Airport, also effective on December 1,
2016. Preliminary review of the submitted material indicates that it
conforms to the requirements for the submittal of Noise Compatibility
Programs, but that further review will be necessary prior to approval
or disapproval of the program. The formal review period, limited by law
to a maximum of 180 days, will be completed on or before May 30, 2017.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of Part 150, Section 150.33. The primary considerations in
the evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce the
level of aviation safety, create an undue burden on interstate or
foreign commerce, or be reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal
of reducing existing non-compatible land uses and preventing the
introduction of additional non-compatible land uses. Interested persons
are invited to comment on the proposed program with specific reference
to these factors. All comments, other than those properly addressed to
local land use authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent
practicable.
    Copies of the full Noise Exposure Map documentation and the
proposed Noise Compatibility Program are available for examination at
the following locations:
Federal Aviation Administration, 5950 Hazeltine National Drive, Suite
400, Orlando, FL 32882

Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation (Gulfstream) Model G-IV airplanes.
This AD was prompted by reports of un-commanded nose wheel steering
turns. This AD requires replacing the nose wheel steering servo valve
manifold, incorporating revised operating procedures into the airplane
flight manual (AFM), doing a records inspection for any incidents of
un-commanded nose wheel steering turns, and reporting the results to
the FAA. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective July 20, 2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of July 20,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Gulfstream Model G-
IV airplanes. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on
December 27, 2019 (84 FR 71333). The NPRM was prompted by reports of
un-commanded nose wheel steering turns. An investigation revealed the
supplier compromised the seals during assembly of the electro-hydraulic
servo valves, which allows moisture to enter the valve. During cold
soak conditions, the moisture forms ice crystals in the servo valve
armature air gaps, which may cause the valve armature to displace to a
non-neutral position. This condition, if not addressed, could result in
an un-commanded nose wheel position once power is applied to the nose
wheel servo and subsequent lateral runway departure. To address this
condition, the supplier improved their production quality control
process to reduce the risk of compromised seals in the nose wheel
steering servo valve. Gulfstream also revised the normal, abnormal, and
emergency procedures in the AFMs related to nose wheel steering un-
commanded turns.
    Accordingly, this AD requires replacing the nose wheel steering
servo valve manifold, incorporating revised operating procedures into
the AFM, doing a records inspection for any incidents of un-commanded
nose wheel steering turns, and reporting the results to the FAA. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comment received
on the NPRM and the FAA's response to the comment.

Request To Add Crew Training Verbiage

    Gulfstream requested the FAA add verbiage to the preamble
referencing training that Gulfstream developed for the un-commanded
nose wheel steering issue. Gulfstream stated the flight crew training
is an important mitigation component should an aircraft experience an
un-commanded nose wheel steering turn during landing.
    The FAA disagrees. The reduction in risk associated with
incorporation of the flight crew training verbiage is minimal. The
sudden and unpredicted nature of an un-commanded nose wheel steering
event allows for little to no response from the flight crew, even with
the related training. The primary means of mitigation for an un-
commanded nose wheel steering event is replacement of the nose wheel
steering valve manifold assembly, which will prevent un-commanded turns
from occurring. The FAA did not change this AD based on this comment.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule as proposed.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Gulfstream IV Customer Bulletin Number 244, dated
March 12, 2018; Gulfstream G300 Customer Bulletin 244, dated March 12,
2018; and Gulfstream G400 Customer Bulletin 244, dated March 12, 2018.
For the applicable airplane configuration, each customer bulletin
describes

procedures for replacing the nose wheel steering servo valve manifold
assembly.
    The FAA also reviewed Gulfstream IV Airplane Flight Manual,
Gulfstream Aerospace Document Number GAC-AC-GIV-OPS-0001, Revision 52,
dated October 30, 2017; Gulfstream G300 Airplane Flight Manual,
Gulfstream Aerospace Document Number GAC-AC-G300-OPS-0001, Revision 20,
dated October 30, 2017; and Gulfstream G400 Airplane Flight Manual,
Gulfstream Aerospace Document Number GAC-AC-G400-OPS-0001, Revision 20,
dated October 30, 2017. For the applicable airplane configuration, each
AFM document provides revisions to the AFM with instructions for flight
crew to follow if un-commanded nose wheel steering turns occur.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD will affect 425 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
              Action                      Labor cost             Parts cost           product        operators

Records review and reporting of     2 work-hours x $85     Not applicable.......             170          72,250
 the review results.                 per hour = $170.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, the FAA has included all costs in this cost
estimate.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public
reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be
approximately 2 hours per response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, completing and reviewing the collection of
information. All responses to this collection of information are
mandatory. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for
reducing this burden to: Information Collection Clearance Officer,
Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX
76177-1524.

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.
    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

    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), and
    (3) 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.

Yuba County Water Agency; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment

November 28, 2005.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed an application for an amendment of
license for the Yuba River Development Project (FERC No. 2246) and has
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed amendment.
The project is located on the North Yuba River downstream of
Englebright Dam in Yuba County, California, about 20 miles northeast of
Marysville and about 24 miles upstream from the confluence of the Yuba
and Feather Rivers.
    The licensee requests approval to construct and operate a 3,000
cubic feet per second (cfs) synchronous flow bypass system and to
revise flow reduction and fluctuation criteria under article 33(d) of
the license for the Narrows II development. Currently, the licensee is
only capable of bypassing 650 cfs through the plant, which has a
capacity of 3,400 cfs under full generation load. The proposed bypass
system will allow the licensee, especially during emergency shutdown
periods, to be able to minimize flow fluctuations downstream. The EA
contains Commission staff's analysis of the probable environmental
impacts of the proposal and concludes that approving the licensee's
application would not constitute a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order Modifying
and Approving Amendment of License,'' which was issued November 22,
2005, and is available for review and reproduction at the Commission's
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A,
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's Web

U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary August 1, 2003 PFOA ECA Telomer Technical Workgroup Meeting Summary, 7/ 10/ 03 64 participants; Attendance list, agenda, and presentation materials in docket at OPPT 2003 0012 0147.

The meeting included three sections: I. EPA presentation describing Letter of Intent ( LOI) commitments and preliminary EPA data needs and identifying potential topics for ECA development, and Telomer Research Program ( TRP) presentation clarifying LOI commitments based on topics raised at June 24, 2003 workgroup meeting II. Discussion/ Questions III. Identification of workgroup next steps; determination of workgroup assignments I. EPA and TRP Presentations David Lynch of EPA presented a table summarizing EPA's understanding of TRP's LOI commitments and EPA's preliminary data needs. TRP presented information in response to issues raised at the June 24, 2003 workgroup meeting. TRP's presentation included putting a " public face" on products and articles; a product and article decision tree; a proposal of a biodegradation strawman to address environmental fate issues; obtaining and gathering information on incineration; and seeking interested party input on the TRP LOI and potential scope for ECA candidates. Both presentations are summarized below according to the numbered items in Table 1 of the EPA ECA Preliminary Framework document to which they referred. The Preliminary Framework document is in the docket at OPPT 2003 0012 0056.

ECA Framework Item # 1 EPA summarized ECA framework item # 1 as providing comprehensive telomer market information including CAS number, chemical names, synthetic sequences, production/ import volumes, and uses/ applications for all telomers and polymers made from telomers. EPA indicated that the TRP member companies had provided these data as confidential business information ( CBI), and that EPA will use these data to inform the selection of representative test chemicals.

TRP provided a generic overview of the telomer manufacturing process noting that PFOA is not used or added in the processes; all processes are closed; and PFOA creation and/ or emissions are expected to be at very low levels. TRP noted that acrylate monomers are the most common raw materials used to create finished products.

ECA Framework Item # 2 EPA summarized the requirements of ECA framework item # 2 as providing p chem properties to inform fate testing on representative test substances to be determined. Test substances may include telomer iodides, telomer alcohols, telomer esters of ( meth) acrylates, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary August 1, 2003 2 telomer sulfonates, and telomer phosphates. TRP's LOI testing commitments include water solubility, vapor pressure, UV/ visible absorption, hydrolysis as a function of pH, absorptiondesorption ( soil, sediment, sludge non labeled and 14C), and specific gravity. EPA indicated that data may be needed on additional chemicals beyond the 12 chemicals included with the TRP LOI commitments. TRP requested that EPA report on its selection scheme at the next workgroup meeting.

ECA Framework Item # 3 EPA summarized ECA framework item # 3 as the elucidation of degradation pathways and identification of degradation products on representative test substances, and indicated that TRP's testing commitments include closed bottle test ( ready biodegradability non labeled and 14C [ OECD 301D]), atmospheric degradation, long range transport properties ( air/ water), and inherent biodegradability Zahn Wellens/ EMPA ( OECD 302B). TRP indicated that the intent of the testing is not the identification of PFOA only, but the determination of all possible degradants, using 14C labeling.

TRP presented their expanded LOI degradation study plan for the telomer 8 2 alcohol and the 12 representative products. TRP noted that it did not commit to the inherent biodegradability Zahn Wellens/ EMPA ( OECD 302B) test for the telomer 8 2 alcohol. TRP presented a multiple tier biodegradation study strawman including a modified aerobic sewage treatment ( OECD 303A) and aerobic/ anaerobic biodegradation in soil ( OECD 307). TRP suggested that this strawman be forwarded to a subgroup for discussion and development as a possible ECA.

ECA Framework Item # 4 EPA summarized ECA framework item # 4 as the determination of p chem, fate and transport properties of degradation products with the test substances being those degradants identified in item # 3. TRP did not include this item in their LOI commitment.

ECA Framework Item # 5 EPA summarized ECA framework item # 5 as the determination of incineration byproducts of telomers and telomer treated products including paper, textile, and carpet products. TRP did not include this item in their LOI commitment. EPA provided an ECA proposal for incineration testing to address EPA data needs.

TRP proposed to approach incineration by means of a desk study. The initial step would determine which telomer related products would be disposed of through incineration. The second step would review U. S. incinerator conditions to understand permitted temperatures and compare them to known telomer degradation temperatures. TRP indicated that it had provided incineration information sources to EPA, and requested that EPA review and further discuss this U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary August 1, 2003 3 information. TRP suggested that this topic be forwarded to a subgroup for development as a possible ECA.

ECA Framework Item # 6 EPA summarized ECA framework item # 6 as the determination of p chem, fate and transport properties of representative telomer incineration byproducts. TRP did not include this item in their LOI commitment.

ECA Framework Item # 7 EPA summarized ECA framework item # 7 as the determination and quantification of the presence of PFOA, telomer alcohols, or other PFOA precursors in telomer chemical products from representative telomers provided by manufacturers and importers. TRP's LOI commitments include testing for PFOA and the 8 2 telomer alcohol in 12 polymers representing three major end use categories of carpet, textiles, and paper. EPA indicated that it is currently reviewing the LOI commitments to determine whether the Agency's data needs may be met by the LOI activity, although it noted that additional products or chemicals might need to be added to the 12 substances included in the LOI.

ECA Framework Item # 8 EPA summarized ECA framework item # 8 as the determination and quantification of the presence of PFOA, telomer alcohol or other PFOA precursors in telomer treated or telomercontaining products and articles including paper, textile, carpet products, and fire fighting foams provided by manufacturers and importers. TRP's LOI commitments include testing carpet, textiles, and paper samples to which the 12 telomer polymers from item # 7 have been applied. EPA noted that it is currently reviewing the LOI commitments to determine whether the Agency's data needs may be met by the LOI activity.

TRP presented a product and article work flow diagram including details of PFOA and telomer 8 2 analysis of commercial products including 4 carpet products, 6 textile products and 2 paper products. TRP noted that method development is currently underway at contract labs; that method validation will follow; and that actual product testing will follow method validation. TRP provided a " public face" table of products and articles selected for analysis. TRP indicated that companies considered market end use, chemistry type/ class, chemical volume, article type, and potential for human exposure when selecting products for evaluation. The individual TRP companies used representative products from their product lines in the sectors of carpet, textile and paper. TRP stated that telomer products are sold for what they do, not what they are. The " public face" table ( available in OPPT 2003 0012 0147) is a general description of products, articles, and uses and applications. U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary August 1, 2003 4 ECA Framework Item # 9 EPA summarized ECA framework item # 9 as the determination and quantification of the presence of PFOA, telomer alcohol, or other PFOA precursors emitted from telomer treated products and articles as they age during use. TRP's LOI commitments include analysis for PFOA and telomer 8 2 alcohol on 12 temperature aged telomer products, and PFOA analysis before and after temperature and photolytic aging of treated carpet; abrasion of treated carpet and textiles; washing and dry cleaning of treated textiles; and hot water extraction of treated carpet. EPA noted that it is currently reviewing the LOI commitments to determine whether the Agency's data needs may be met by the LOI activity.

TRP presented a screening study decision pathway diagram for articles treated with the 12 representative commercial telomer polymer products. The screening study includes a phase 1 analysis of newly manufactured products, and of those products after exposure to elevated temperatures and to photolysis conditions; and a phase 2 including abrasion, laundering, dry cleaning, and hot water extraction/ steam cleaning. TRP stated that results of the phase 1 testing will determine the need for additional phase 2 testing. A level of quantification ( LOQ) will be established for PFOA and used to select products for phase 2 testing. TRP stated that any product that exceeds the LOQ will continue to phase 2 testing. TRP noted that method development is currently underway at contract labs; that method validation will follow; and that actual product testing will follow method validation.

ECA Framework Item # 12 EPA summarized ECA framework item # 12 as the provision of product stewardship information concerning telomer products and articles. TRP included documenting product stewardship programs among its LOI commitments.

II. Discussion/ Questions Parties asked how EPA would define representative substances and whether the telomer ethoxylates or known degradation products are being considered for evaluation. EPA stated that it searched the public inventory for telomer chemicals and grouped them into 21 categories to define the potential universe of candidates for testing, and that additional chemicals from that list, beyond the 12 products covered by the TRP LOI, could be subjects for inclusion in an ECA commitment.

In response to a question regarding where the reference temperatures, conditions, etc. could be found for the proposed incineration ECA, EPA said that the references could be found and provided for interested parties.

Parties asked about using indirect food product testing required by FDA as a basis for understanding the leaching of polymers from food contact paper products, and asked whether U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary August 1, 2003 5 information submitted to FDA could be made available for review. EPA responded that government agencies can share information, but would need to determine which elements could be made public. EPA agreed to work with FDA to determine what data are available.

Some parties expressed the opinion that analyzing existing products   for example, treated carpets with several years of real use   in conjunction with newly manufactured products would establish a realistic consumer scenario and provide a comparison between results obtained from actual aging and accelerated aging. CPSC noted they have not always found correlations between accelerated versus actual aging results. TRP stated that actual product testing was a good idea; however, there would be no control for the experiments and the purpose of the study envisioned by TRP is the determination of a baseline and a delta. TRP stated that another problem with existing products could be contact with acidic solutions ( i. e., soda), carpet cleaners containing PFOA, etc., which could give questionable results.

Several questions were asked regarding the selection of test methods, including why abrasion tests were proposed only for carpeting and not paper products; why humidity testing was not proposed; whether there were standard tests for products to be conducted under photolysis and elevated temperatures and whether these tests might be appropriate; and whether there were different extraction methods for PFOA and telomers. TRP responded that because paper products were a one time use, abrasion was not an appropriate test. TRP was not sure whether different extraction methods would be required.

Parties asked questions regarding the decision making criteria for continued testing including the LOQ level and " x" times increase in PFOA level; and whether there are significant environmental and release concerns for PFOA loss below the LOQ. TRP responded that the products have previously been tested for performance in laundry, dry cleaning, etc., and said that some of these data might be available through the Carpet and Rug Institute. TRP could not answer the question about significance of releases below the LOQ, and observed that TRP is currently working on method development and will follow with method validation.

Numerous questions were asked regarding the samples to be tested and the pathways of testing, for example: whether all tests would be performed on the same sample in a cumulative fashion or whether separate samples would be evaluated; and whether tests would be conducted in a certain sequence. TRP stated that the same sample would be used to conduct all tests, but that a new piece from the sample would be used to conduct each test. TRP stated that no cumulative testing is proposed at this time. All phase 1 tests (" as made" [ i. e., newly manufactured], after exposure to photolysis, and after exposure to elevated temperature) are conducted in parallel. Phase 2 tests take place for only those tests and only those samples where the LOQ or the magnitude of PFOA generation " x" values warrant further testing.

Several questions were raised regarding the " public face" placed on the 12 products and articles presented by TRP. Parties expressed concern about a lack of sufficient detail in the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary August 1, 2003 6 " public face" to alert consumers to which products might contain these chemicals, in case individuals wanted to reduce their potential exposures.

III. Identification of workgroup next steps; determination of workgroup assignments The workgroup elected David Lynch of EPA to present a summary of workgroup activities to the Plenary session.

° EPA will look at the 12 representative LOI chemicals and determine whether additional chemical coverage is necessary. The selection criteria used will be made available to interested parties, although the chemicals themselves will be CBI. ° EPA will provide reference information used for incineration ECA development. ° Recommendation for formation of expert technical subgroups in the areas of degradation and incineration for ECA development to meet 1 or 2 times by mid September. The meetings may occur by conference call. EPA will provide a time line within two weeks. Groups wishing to participate will notify EPA. ° Other items identified for more discussion in the full workgroup are forthcoming p chem property data, the presence in products and articles, aged studies and product stewardship. ° The entire Telomer Workgroup will convene during the week of Sept 15, 2003.

previous review (Memo, G. Kramer, 22-MAR-2004; DP#: 285474).  Note that
several of the deficiencies related to this petition were addressed in
the following memorandum:  G. Kramer, 10-MAY-2005; DP#: 315890.

Executive Summary of Chemistry Deficiencies

• Submission of an interference study and/or confirmatory method.

• Submission of additional storage stability data for the poultry
feeding study.

Note to RD:  The appropriate chemical name for novaluron is
“N-[[[3-chloro-4-[1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)ethoxy]phenyl]am
ino]carbonyl]-2,6-difluorobenzamide.”  HED recommends that 40 CFR
180.598 should be amended accordingly.

RECOMMENDATIONS

HED continues to recommend for a conditional registration of Rimon(,
pending submission of an interference study and/or confirmatory method
and additional storage stability data for the poultry feeding study.
Based on the submitted feeding study, the existing egg tolerance should
be increased to 0.07 ppm.

CONCLUSIONS

OPPTS 860.1340 Residue Analytical Methods - Plants

An interference study is still required to determine whether other
pesticides registered on the same commodities interfere with the
determination of novaluron; an interference study may be waived if a
specific single-analyte confirmatory method is submitted.

860.1480 Meat, Milk, Poultry, and Eggs

HED requests additional storage stability data for the poultry feeding
study.

DETAILED CONSIDERATIONS

Deficiency - OPPTS 860.1340 Residue Analytical Methods - Plants (from
Memo, G. Kramer, 22-MAR-2004; DP#: 285474)

The proposed plant enforcement methods, GC/ECD and HPLC/UV, need to pass
a PMV by ACL/BEAD before the methods can be deemed adequate for
tolerance enforcement.  In addition, the petitioner is required to
submit radiovalidation and interference studies.  Radiovalidation of the
GC/ECD and HPLC/UV methods is required, using radiolabeled samples from
the plant metabolism studies, in order to determine whether the methods
adequately extract aged (weathered) residues of novaluron.  An
interference study is required to determine whether other pesticides
registered on the same commodities interfere with the determination of
novaluron; an interference study may be waived if a specific
single-analyte confirmatory method is submitted.

Petitioner's Response:  The petitioner submitted acceptable plant and
livestock radiovalidation studies (MRID#s 45638304 and 46714901; See
Memo, S. Levy, 23-AUG-2006; DP#: 325183).  The radiovalidation data
support the analytical methods as enforcement methods.

HED's Conclusion:  The Analytical Chemistry Branch (ACB) has
successfully completed the petition method validation (PMV) (Memo, S.
Levy, 15-SEP-2004; DP#: 306998).  However, an interference study and/or
confirmatory method have not been submitted.  This deficiency remains
partially resolved.

Deficiency - OPPTS 860.1480 Meat, Milk, Poultry, and Eggs (from Memo,
G. Kramer, 22-MAR-2004; DP#: 285474)

The petitioner has requested a waiver for the conduct of a poultry
feeding study.  Based on the maximum residues observed in the poultry
metabolism study, quantifiable residues would be expected in a feeding
study.  HED thus requested that the petitioner submit a poultry feeding
study.

Petitioner's Response:  A protocol for the requested poultry feeding
study was submitted by the petitioner and reviewed by HED (Memo, G.
Kramer, 05-MAY-2005; DP#: 315891).  The petitioner submitted a poultry
feeding study (MRID#: 46870601) that was adequate to demonstrate the
magnitude of novaluron residues in poultry commodities.  However, sample
storage intervals were not reported.

HED's Conclusion:  HED previously recommended for the following poultry
tolerances based on the results of a poultry metabolism study:  fat -
0.40 ppm; meat byproducts - 0.04 ppm; meat - 0.03 ppm; egg – 0.05 ppm
(Memo, S. Levy, 22-MAR-2004; DP#: 285474).  The levels of novaluron in
the poultry metabolism study were normalized to 1x and then multiplied
by a factor of 10x to account for the longer duration of a feeding
study.

Cotton is the only poultry feed item associated with the registered uses
of novaluron.  The reasonably balanced diet (RBD) of novaluron to
poultry is presented in Table 1.  This poultry dietary burden was
calculated using the registered tolerance level for cotton, undelinted
seed (0.60 ppm).

Table 1.  Poultry Dietary Burden.

Feedstuff (Type)	Tolerance (ppm)	%Dry Matter1	%Diet1	Dietary Burden2
(ppm)

cottonseed meal (PC)	0.60	89	20	0.12

Total dietary burden	0.12

1  Table 1 (OPPTS Guideline 860.1000).

2  Dietary Burden = [tolerance/% DM (cattle)] x %diet).  Poultry diets
are not corrected for %dry matter.

Poultry feeding study

46870601.der.wpd

Four groups of twelve laying hens each were dosed with novaluron at 0,
0.12, 0.36, and 1.2 ppm in the feed for 56/57 consecutive days.
Following withdrawal of the test diet after 56/57 days, three satellite
groups of 12 birds each were returned to the control diet for 14, 42, or
70 days, to measure the kinetics of depuration.  Composite egg samples
were collected on Days -1, 3, 7, 9, 15, 19, 23, 27, 30, 33, 37, 40, 44,
47, 51, and 54 for all four groups.  Additional composite egg sampling
was conducted on Days 1, 5, and 12 for the 1.2 ppm group (Group 4).
Hens were sacrificed within 24 hours after the treatment, and composite
samples of muscle, liver, kidney, skin (with attached fat), and
abdominal fat were collected.  The maximum dose tested thus appears to
be 10X the dietary burden.

Samples were analyzed for residues of novaluron per se using a liquid
chromatography with mass-spectrometric detection (LC/MSD) method.  The
method was validated with the analysis of egg and tissue samples
fortified at 0.01-1.0 ppm.  Concurrent method recoveries were also
analyzed for egg and tissue samples fortified at 0.01-3.0 ppm.  The
validated limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0.01 ppm in chicken egg and
tissues.  The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.5 ng/mL (equivalent to
0.0025 ppm in all matrix types).  The maximum residues of novaluron in
eggs and tissues are listed below in Table 2.

Table 2.  Results of a Poultry Feeding Study with Novaluron.

Matrix

Maximum Residue Levels (ppm) by Feeding Level*

0.12 (ppm)

0.36 (ppm)

Eggs, Day 7	0.020	0.092	0.246

Eggs, Day 27	0.045	0.179	0.542

Eggs, Day 54	0.063	0.181	0.702

Muscle	0.014	0.031	0.160

Liver	0.034	0.096	0.364

Kidney	0.039	0.089	0.368

Skin + Attached fat	0.161	0.462	1.842

Abdominal fat	0.323	0.988	3.011

Conclusions:  Based on the feeding study and the current MTDBs, HED
concludes that the currently-established tolerance levels are
sufficient; with the exception of eggs.  The egg tolerance should be
increased to 0.07 ppm.

The poultry feeding study will be classified as scientifically
acceptable, pending submission of additional storage stability
information.  Sample storage intervals for poultry commodities were not
reported, nor was it demonstrated that the storage interval for the
residue samples was less than 1 month.  Storage stability data for
novaluron residues should be submitted that support the storage
conditions and intervals of poultry egg and poultry skin/fat, muscle,
liver, kidney, and abdominal fat tissue samples used in this study or
the petitioner should demonstrate that the storage interval for the
residue samples was less than one month.  When the requested data and
information has been submitted, HED will reassess the adequacy of the
recommended livestock commodity tolerances.  This deficiency is
partially resolved.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

[Docket No. OSHA-2021-0005]

LabTest Certification Inc.: Grant of Recognition

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to grant
recognition to LabTest Certification, Inc. (LCI), as a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).

DATES: Recognition as a NRTL becomes effective on November 2, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information regarding this notice is
available from the following sources:
    Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office
of Communications, U.S. Department of Labor, telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>;
email: [email protected].
    General and technical information: Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson,
Director, Office of Technical Programs and Coordination Activities,
Directorate of Technical Support and Emergency Management, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, telephone:
(202) 693-2110; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Many of OSHA's workplace standards require that a NRTL test and
certify certain types of equipment as safe for use in the workplace.
NRTLs are independent laboratories that meet OSHA's requirements for
performing safety testing and certification of products used in the
workplace. To obtain and retain OSHA recognition, the NRTLs must meet
the requirements in the NRTL Program regulations at 29 CFR 1910.7. More
specifically, to be recognized by OSHA, an organization must: (1) Have
the appropriate capability to test, evaluate, and approve products to
assure their safe use in the workplace; (2) be completely independent
of employers subject to the

tested equipment requirements, and manufacturers and vendors of
products for which OSHA requires certification; (3) have internal
programs that ensure proper control of the testing and certification
process; and (4) have effective reporting and complaint handling
procedures. Recognition is an acknowledgement by OSHA that the NRTL has
the capabilities to perform independent safety testing and
certification of the specific products covered within the NRTL's scope
of recognition and is not a delegation or grant of government
authority. Recognition of a NRTL by OSHA also allows employers to use
products certified by that NRTL to meet those OSHA standards that
require product testing and certification.
    The agency processes applications for initial recognition following
requirements in Appendix A of 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix requires
OSHA to publish two notices in the Federal Register in processing an
application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the application,
provides its preliminary findings, and solicits comments on its
preliminary findings. In the second notice, the agency provides its
final decision on the application and sets forth the NRTL's scope of
recognition.

II. Notice of Final Decision

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the agency's decision to grant
recognition to LabTest Certification, Inc., (LCI) as a NRTL. According
to public information (see https://labtestcert.com/about-labtest/) LCI
states that it is an internationally accredited testing laboratory. In
its application, LCI lists the current address of its headquarters as:
LabTest Certification, Inc., 205--8291 92 Street, Delta, BC Canada V4G
0A4. OSHA has determined preliminarily that LCI has the capability to
perform as a NRTL as outlined in 29 CFR 1910.7.
    Each NRTL's scope of recognition has two elements: (1) The type(s)
of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by its
applicable test standard; and (2) the recognized site(s) that have the
technical capability to perform the product-testing and product-
certification activities for the applicable test standards within the
NRTL's scope of recognition. LCI applied on January 29, 2016, for one
recognized site (OSHA-2021-0005-0001). This application was amended on
June 10, 2021, to remove three of the eight standards requested in the
original application. LCI's original application also requested that
supplemental programs be included in their recognition. However, on
October 1, 2019, OSHA published an update to the NRTL Program Policies,
Procedures and Guidelines Directive, CPL 01-00-004, which eliminated
supplemental programs from the NRTL Program. Therefore, OSHA does not
grant recognition to NRTL applicants for supplemental programs. OSHA
published the preliminary notice announcing LCI's application for
recognition in the Federal Register on August 16, 2021 (86 FR 45762).
The agency requested comments by September 15, 2021, but it received no
comments in response to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding with this
final notice to grant recognition to LCI as a NRTL.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to

III. Final Decision and Order

    OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of LCI's application
packet and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA staff also
performed comprehensive on-site assessments of LCI's testing
facilities, at LCI, Delta BC on December 11-12, 2018. Based on the
review of this evidence, OSHA finds that LCI meets the requirements of
29 CFR 1910.7 for recognition as a NRTL, subject to the limitations and

LCI also must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
    1. LCI must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in the operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
    2. LCI must meet all the terms of the recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. LCI must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on LCI's scope of

recognition to LCI as a NRTL, subject to these limitations and
conditions specified above.
