Paper Production 

Photocopy (standard or legal) ........................................................................ Per page ................................................................. .10 

Pre-printed (if available) ................................................................................. Per 100 pages ........................................................ 5.00 

Published (if available) ................................................................................... Per item .................................................................. NTIS 

(2) Application of schedule. Personnel 

search time includes time expended in 

manual paper records searches, indices 

searches, review of computer search 

results for relevance, and personal 

computer system searches. In any event 

where the actual cost to ODNI of a 

particular item is less than the above 

schedule (e.g., a large production run of 

a document resulting in a cost less than 

$5.00 per hundred pages), then the 

actual lesser cost will be charged. 

(3) Other services. For all other types 

of output, production, or reproduction 

(e.g., photographs, maps, or published 

reports), ODNI will charge actual cost or 

amounts authorized by statute. 

Determinations of actual cost shall 

include the commercial cost of the 

media, the personnel time expended in 

making the item to be released, and an 

allocated cost of the equipment used in 

making the item, or, if the production is 

effected by a commercial service, then 

that charge shall be deemed the actual 

cost for purposes of this regulation. 

(f) Limitations on collection of fees— 

(1) In general. No fees will be charged 

if the cost of collecting the fee is equal 

to or greater than the fee itself. That cost 

includes the administrative costs to 

ODNI of billing, receiving, recording, 

and processing the fee for deposit to the 

Treasury Department and, as of the date 

of these regulations, is deemed to be 

$10.00. 

(g) Associated requests. If it appears a 

requester or a group of requesters acting 

in concert have requested portions of an 

apparently unitary request for the 

purpose of avoiding the assessment of 

fees, ODNI may aggregate any such 

requests and charge accordingly. 

Requests from multiple requesters will 

not be aggregated without clear 

evidence. ODNI will not aggregate 

multiple unrelated requests. 

§ 1704.9 Determination by originator or 

interested party. 

(a) In general. The originating 

element(s) of the classified information 

(document) is always an interested party 

to any mandatory declassification 

review; other interested parties may 

become involved through a referral by 

the D/IMD when it is determined that 

some or all of the information is also 

within their official cognizance. 

(b) Required determinations. These 

parties shall respond in writing to the 

D/IMD with a finding as to the classified 

status of the information, including the 

category of protected information as set 

forth in section 1.4 of the Order, and if 

older than ten years, the basis for the 

extension of classification time under 

sections 1.5 and 3.3 of the Order. These 

parties shall also indicate whether 

withholding is otherwise authorized 

and warranted in accordance with 

sections 3.5(c) and 6.2(d) of the Order. 

(c) Time. Responses to the requester 

shall be provided on a first-in/first-out 

basis, taking into account the business 

requirements of the originating 

element(s) and other interested parties, 

and, in accordance with Executive 

Order 13526, ODNI will respond to 

requesters within one year of receipt of 

requests. 

(d) Deciding official. The IMD FOIA 

Branch Chief, in consultation with the 

D/IMD and the Classification 

Management Branch Chief, will 

ordinarily be the deciding official on 

initial reviews of MDR requests to the 

ODNI. 

§ 1704.10 Appeals. 

(a) Administrative. Appeals of initial 

decisions must be received in writing by 

the D/IMD within 60 days of the date of 

mailing of the ODNI’s decision. The 

appeal must identify with specificity the 

documents or information to be 

considered on appeal and it may but 

need not provide a factual or legal basis 

for the appeal. 

(1) Exceptions. No appeal shall be 

accepted from a foreign government 

entity or any representative thereof. 

Appeals will not be accepted for 

documents required to be submitted for 

pre-publication review or other 

administrative process pursuant to an 

approved nondisclosure agreement; for 

information that is the subject of 

pending litigation; nor for any 

document or material containing 

information contained within an 

operational file exempted from search 

and review, publication, and disclosure 

under the FOIA. No appeals shall be 

accepted if the requester has 

outstanding fees for information 

services at ODNI or another Federal 

agency. In addition, no appeal shall be 

accepted if the information in question 

has been the subject of a declassification 

review within the previous two years. 

(2) Receipt, recording, and tasking. 

The D/IMD will record each appeal 

received under this part and 

acknowledge receipt to the requester. 

(3) Appellate authority. The ODNI 

Chief Management Officer (CMO), after 

consultation with all interested parties 

or ODNI component organization as 

well as with the Office of General 

Counsel, will make a final 

determination on the appeal within 60 

days. 

(b) Final appeal. The D/IMD will 

prepare and communicate the ODNI 

administrative appeal decision to the 

requester, NARA, Presidential Library 

and referring agency, as appropriate. 

Correspondence will include a notice, if 

applicable, that a further appeal of 

ODNI’s final decision may be made to 

the Interagency Security Classification 

Appeals Panel (ISCAP) established 

pursuant to section 5.3 of Executive 

Order 13526. Action by that Panel will 

be the subject of rules to be promulgated 

by the Information Security Oversight 

Office.

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 preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/

comments.html. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is announcing its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions filed under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 

346a, requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 174 or part 180 for residues of 

pesticide chemicals in or on various 

food commodities. The Agency is taking 

public comment on the requests before 

responding to the petitioners. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petitions described in this 

document contain the data or 

information prescribed in FFDCA 

section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); 

however, EPA has not fully evaluated 

the sufficiency of the submitted data at 

this time or whether the data support 

granting of the pesticide petitions. After 

considering the public comments, EPA 

intends to evaluate whether and what 

action may be warranted. Additional 

data may be needed before EPA can 

make a final determination on these 

pesticide petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions that 

are the subject of this document, 

prepared by the petitioner, is included 

in a docket EPA has created for each 

rulemaking. The docket for each of the 

petitions is available at http://

www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petitions so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on these requests for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petitions may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit.

Box 1, 2600 MA Delft, The Netherlands 

(c/o Keller and Heckman, LLP 1001 G. 

St. NW., Washington, DC 20001), 

requests to amend an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

180.1315 for residues of the fungistat 

natamycin by adding in or on citrus, 

pome, and stone fruit crop groups; 

avocado; kiwi; mango; and pomegranate 

when applied as a fungistat in 

accordance with label directions and 

good agricultural practices. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because the petition is for an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance without any numerical 

limitation. Further, residues are not 

expected on any other crops because 

natamycin will only be applied indoors 

to these particular crops. Contact: BPPD. 

2. PP 5F8438. EPA–HQ–OPP–2016– 

0032. Valent BioSciences Corp., 870 

Technology Way, Libertyville, IL 60048, 

requests to amend an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

180.1189 for residues of the biochemical 

pesticide methyl salicylate by adding in 

or on all agricultural commodities. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because the petitioner has 

validated residue methods in both 

tomato and pepper. The analytical 

method for the assay of methyl 

salicylate and salicylic acid is by gas 

chromatography with mass-selective 

detection. Methyl salicylate will not 

result in residues that are of 

toxicological concern, as the residue 

studies clearly show only natural 

background levels of methyl salicylate 

and its metabolite (salicylic acid) after 

applications, even at time zero. Contact: 

BPPD. 

Amended Tolerance Exemption for 

Plant Incorporated Product 

PP 5F8425. EPA–HQ–OPP–2014–

St., Boise, ID 83706, requests to amend 

an exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance in 40 CFR 174.534 for residues 

of the plant-incorporated protectant 

(PIP) VNT1 protein in or on potato by 

converting a currently existing 

temporary tolerance exemption to a 

permanent tolerance exemption. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because it is seeking an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance. Contact: BPPD.

World Trade Center Health Program; 

Petition 011—Autoimmune Diseases; 

Finding of Insufficient Evidence 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, HHS. 

ACTION: Denial of petition for addition of 

a health condition. 

SUMMARY: On January 25, 2016, the 

Administrator of the World Trade 

Center (WTC) Health Program received 

a petition (Petition 011) to add 

‘‘autoimmune disease, lupus, and 

rheumatoid arthritis’’ to the List of 

WTC-Related Health Conditions (List). 

Upon reviewing the information 

provided by the petitioner, the 

Administrator has determined that 

Petition 011 is not substantially 

different from Petitions 007, 008, and 

009, which also requested the addition 

of autoimmune diseases. The 

Administrator recently published 

responses to Petitions 007, 008, and 009 

in the Federal Register and has 

determined that Petition 011 does not 

provide additional evidence of a causal 

relationship between 9/11 exposures 

and autoimmune diseases. Accordingly, 

the Administrator finds that insufficient 

evidence exists to request a 

recommendation of the WTC Health 

Program Scientific/Technical Advisory 

Committee (STAC), to publish a 

proposed rule, or to publish a 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
