34968 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 142 / Tuesday, July 24, 2018 / Proposed Rules 

January 13, 2017 (82 FR 4594). The 

comment period for the Reconsideration 

Proposal was to end on July 30, 2018. 

The 2017 Amendments rule amended 

40 CFR part 68, the chemical accident 

prevention provisions under section 

112(r) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7412(r)). 

The RIA for the Amendments rule 

utilized a February 2015 version of the 

RMP database to compile the universe 

of RMP facilities. The database reflected 

that approximately 12,500 facilities had 

filed current risk management plans 

with EPA and could have been 

potentially affected by the Amendments 

final rule. EPA had provided in the 

rulemaking docket, the non-OCA 

version of the risk management plan 

data submitted by facilities as of 

February 2015. (Docket ID: EPA–HQ– 

OEM–2015–0725–0311). For the RIA for 

the Reconsideration Proposal (Docket 

ID: EPA–HQ–OEM–2015–0725–0907), 

EPA compared the February 2015 

version of the risk management plan 

database to the most recent version of 

the database from November 2017 for 

the purposes of understanding and 

comparing how the universe of RMP 

facilities had changed in the intervening 

period between developing the 

Amendments rule RIA and the 

Reconsideration Proposal RIA. EPA also 

developed a comparison of the number 

of RMP facilities by industry sector, by 

employee size, by RMP program level, 

by process complexity and by 

responding/nonresponding status. 

These counts of RMP facilities are 

presented in various data tables in 

Chapter 3 of the Reconsideration 

Proposal RIA and were extracted from 

the two versions of the RMP database. 

The comparison revealed that the 

number of RMP facilities and processes 

had experienced minor changes in the 

more than two years between 

rulemakings. In total, the number of 

RMP facilities decreased by 1.8% over 

the time-period and included small 

changes in the number of facilities in 

most industry codes and process levels. 

As discussed in Chapter 3 of the 

Reconsideration Proposal RIA, EPA 

determined that the differences between 

the databases were minor, with the 

exception of the number of accidents. 

As a result, EPA utilized the costs 

estimated for the 2017 Amendments 

rule RIA as the baseline set of costs to 

be impacted by the Reconsideration 

Proposal. 

For the Amendments rule, EPA had 

also provided in the docket as a separate 

dataset data on accidents occurring at 

RMP facilities from 2004–2013, as 

reported in the risk management plan 

database as of February 2015. This 

accident data was provided in an Excel 

spreadsheet file (Docket ID: EPA–HQ– 

OEM–2015–0725–0002). This ten-year 

set of accident data was used as the 

basis of some of the cost estimates 

discussed in the Amendments rule RIA. 

EPA provided similar accident data in 

an Excel spreadsheet in the docket for 

RMP accidents occurring in 2014–2016 

(Docket ID: EPA–HQ–OEM–2015–0725– 

0909), as a supporting document for the 

Reconsideration Proposal. EPA 

developed the latter spreadsheet from 

the November 2017 version of the 

database. 

While the various parties requesting 

an extension of the comment period 

asked that EPA extend the period 60 

days, we are extending the comment 

period through August 23, 2018. EPA 

notes that the November 2017 database 

was used for limited purposes in the 

preparation of the Reconsideration 

Proposal. Primarily, it was used to 

corroborate that the information from 

the prior RIA regarding the universe of 

stationary sources subject to the RMP 

rule did not change significantly by the 

time we prepared the RIA for the 

Reconsideration Proposal. Tables in the 

Reconsideration Proposal RIA presented 

the information extracted from the 

database, so the public could always 

comment on the information. The major 

impact was the inability to verify the 

information from its source. The 

updated database also was used to 

confirm that the 2004–2013 trend of 

declining accident rates over time 

continued. EPA included in the 

Reconsideration Proposal docket an 

Excel spreadsheet on accident data for 

RMP accidents occurring from 2014– 

2016 that we derived from the 

November 2017 database. 

Because the November 2017 database 

was used mostly for corroboration, we 

do not believe there were fundamental 

data about sources subject to the RMP 

Rule that could not have been observed 

in the 2015 database that was already in 

the docket. We also note that we have 

docketed the November 2017 RMP 

database (non-OCA version) as of July 

11, 2018 and on July 10, 2018, provided 

it to the first party to draw our attention 

to it not being in the docket. In the 

interest of expeditiously completing the 

reconsideration process and putting into 

effect provisions of the Amendments 

that we intend to retain or modify, we 

believe closing comments on August 23, 

2018 strikes an appropriate balance.

the applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT for the division listed at the 

end of the pesticide petition summary of 

interest. 

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 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 

summaries referenced in this unit.

Free Service Access Codes 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal 

Communications Commission adopts a 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

seeking comment to determine how a 

toll free subscriber should make clear its 

authorization to text-enable a toll free 

number. To ensure that a toll free 

subscriber has indeed authorized a toll 

free number to be text-enabled, the 

NPRM proposes requiring a toll free 

subscriber to inform its Responsible 

Organization (RespOrg) of that 

authorization and for the RespOrg to 

update the appropriate records in the 

toll free SMS Database. The NPRM also 

seeks comment on what other 

information, in addition to an SMS 

Database record reflecting that toll free 

number has been text-enabled, if any, 

needs to be captured and centrally 

managed to protect the integrity of the 

toll free numbering system, and whether 

such information should be captured in 

the SMS Database or some other toll free 

registry. The intended effect of this 

NPRM is to clarify and ensure that the 

toll free SMS Database accurately 

reflects which toll free numbers are text 

enabled.
