Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 100 / Friday, May 23, 2014 / Proposed Rules 29729 

III. Proposed Action 

Today, we are proposing to approve 

the April 13, 2012, revisions to 30 TAC 

Chapter 117 sections 117.1020, 

117.1120, 117.1220, 117.3020, and 

117.9800 to remove reference to SCT 

program rule from these sections. We 

are proposing to approve the May 8, 

2013, revisions to 30 TAC Chapter 117 

sections 117.2103, 117.2130, 117.2135, 

and 117.2145, to allow for partial 

exemption of oil and gas drawworks 

engines used for personnel training and 

product testing from NOX control 

requirements. We are also proposing to 

approve the May 14, 2013, revisions to 

30 TAC Chapter 117 section 117.10(15), 

to update the definition of emergency. 

We are proposing to approve these 

revisions to 30 TAC Chapter 117 into 

Texas SIP. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

Federal regulations. If a portion of the 

plan revision meets all the applicable 

requirements of this chapter and Federal 

regulations, the Administrator may 

approve the plan revision in part. 42 

U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, 

in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s 

role is to approve state choices that meet 

the criteria of the Act, and to disapprove 

state choices that do not meet the 

criteria of the Act. Accordingly, this 

proposed action approves state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this proposed action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• is not subject to requirements of 

section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; 

• does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994); and 

• this rule does not have tribal 

implications as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), because the SIP is not approved 

to apply in Indian country located in the 

state, and EPA notes that it will not 

impose substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law.

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

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 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); 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 online 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 petition so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on this request for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petition may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit.

methylphenyl)(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6- 

methylphenyl)methanone in or on 

Vegetables, fruiting, group 8–10 at 1.0 

ppm. The residues of parent 

metrafenone in/on Tomato and Pepper 

RAC samples were quantitated using an 

LC/MS/MS multi-residue QuEChERS 

method (BASF Study No. 398340). The 

method was successfully validated on 

Tomatoes and Peppers in conjunction 

with these studies prior to analysis of 

the field samples. Acceptable 

concurrent method recovery data for 

Tomato and Pepper RAC samples were 

also obtained for metrafenone. The 

validated limit of quantitation (LOQ) for 

residues of metrafenone in/on Tomato 

and Pepper RAC samples was 0.01 ppm. 

The method LOD was 0.001 ppm, or 

approximately 10% of the LOQ. An 

independent laboratory validation 

demonstrated good performance of the 

QuEChERS method.

Sunflower, seed at 7.0 ppm; Sweet 

rocket, seed at 35.0 ppm; Vegetable, 

bulb, group 3 at 1.0 ppm; and Vegetable, 

fruiting, group 8 at 4.0 ppm, upon 

establishment of the proposed 

tolerances listed in 4. under ‘‘New 

Tolerance’’. 

2. PP 4E8244. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0230). Interregional Research Project 

Number 4 (IR–4), 500 College Road East, 

Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540, 

proposing, pursuant to section 408(d) of 

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 

Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to 

amend 40 CFR 180.617 by removing 

tolerances for residues of the fungicide 

metconazole, 5-[(4-chlorophenyl)- 

methyl]-2, 2-dimethyl-1-(1H-1,2,4- 

triazol-1-ylmethyl) cyclopentanol, 

measured as the sum of cis- and transisomers in or on the following raw 

agricultural commodities: Canola seed 

at 0.04 ppm; Fruit, stone, group 12 at 0.2 

ppm; Pistachio at 0.04 ppm; and Nut, 

Tree, Group 14 at 0.04 ppm. Upon 

establishment of the proposed 

tolerances listed in 5. under ‘‘New 

Tolerance’’, these previously established 

tolerances will be superseded by 

inclusion in crop group or subgroup 

tolerances established by this action. 

3. PP 3F8191. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0225). Valent USA Corporation, 1101 

14th Street, NW., Suite 1050, 

Washington, DC 20005, requests to 

amend the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.627 

for residues of the fungicide 

fluopicolide, [2,6-dichloro-N-[[3-chloro5-(trifluoromethyl)-2- 

pyridinyl]methyl]benzamide], including 

its metabolites and degradates, in or on 

Vegetable, tuberous and corm subgroup 

1C from 0.02 ppm to 0.3 ppm; and 

Potato, processed waste from 0.05 ppm 

to 0.3 ppm. Compliance with the 

tolerance levels specified below is to be 

determined by measuring only 

fluopicolide [2,6-dichloro-N-[[3-chloro5-(trifluoromethyl)-2- 

pyridinyl]methyl]benzamide] in or on 

the commodity. The Valent method RM43C-1 by LC/MS/MS is used to measure 

and evaluate the chemical fluopicolide. 

4. PP 3F8214. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0210). FMC Corporation, 1735 Market 

Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103, requests 

to amend the tolerances in 40 CFR 

180.418 for the residues of the 

insecticide zeta-cypermethrin, in or on 

Alfalfa, forage from 5.0 ppm to 15.0 

ppm; and Alfalfa, hay from 15.0 ppm to 

30.0 ppm. There is a practical analytical 

method (gas chromatography with 

Electron Capture Detection) (GC/ECD) 

for detecting and measuring levels of 

cypermethrin and zeta-cypermethrin in 

or on food with a limit of detection 

(LOD) that allows monitoring of food 

with residues at or above the levels set 

in these tolerances.
