24782 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

38. Section 61.05–15 is amended by

revising paragraphs (a), (b), (c)(1), (f),

and (g) to read as follows:

§ 61.05–15 Boiler mountings and

attachments.

(a) Each valve shall be opened and

examined by the marine inspector at the

interval specified in Table 61.05–10.

(b) Each stud or bolt for each boiler

mounting that paragraph (c) of this

section requires to be removed may be

examined by the marine inspector.

(c)(1) Each boiler mounting may be

removed from the boiler and be

examined by the marine inspector at the

interval specified by Table 61.05–10

when any of the following conditions

exist:

* * * * *

(f) Each steam gauge for a boiler or a

main steam line may be examined and

checked for accuracy by the marine

inspector at the interval specified by

Table 61.05–10.

(g) Each fusible plug may be

examined by the marine inspector at the

interval specified by Table 61.05–10.

39. Section 61.05–20 is revised to read

as follows:

§ 61.05–20 Boiler safety valves.

Each safety valve for a drum,

superheater, or reheater of a boiler shall

be tested and resealed in the presence

of the marine inspector at the interval

specified by Table 61.05–10.

40. Section 61.10–5 is amended by

revising the heading and paragraphs (a),

(b), (d), and (g) to read as follows:

§ 61.10–5 Pressure vessels in service.

(a) Basic requirement. Each pressure

vessel must be examined or tested twice

within any five-year period, except that

no more than three years may elapse

between any test or examination and its

immediate predecessor. The extent of

the test or examination should be that

necessary to determine that the pressure

vessel’s condition is satisfactory and

that the pressure vessel is fit for the

service intended.

(b) Internal and external tests and

inspections. Each pressure vessel

stamped with the Coast Guard symbol,

and each pressure vessel in a system

regulated under subpart 58.60 of this

subchapter that is fitted with a manhole

or other inspection opening so it can be

satisfactorily examined internally, must

be opened twice within any five-year

period, except that no more than three

years may elapse between any

examination and its immediate

predecessor. Each pressure vessel must

be thoroughly examined internally and

externally. No pressure vessel need be

hydrostatically tested except when any

defect in a pressure vessel is found that,

in the marine inspector’s opinion, may

affect the safety of the pressure vessel;

in this case, the pressure vessel should

be hydrostatically tested at a pressure of

11⁄2 times the maximum allowable

working pressure.

* * * * *

(d) Hydrostatic tests under pressure.

Each pressure vessel, other than one

exempted by this section, must be

subjected to a hydrostatic test at a

pressure of 11⁄4 times the maximum

allowable working pressure twice

within any five-year period, except that

no more than three years may elapse

between any test and its immediate

predecessor.

* * * * *

(g) Bulk storage tanks. Each bulk

storage tank containing refrigerated

liquefied CO2 for use aboard a vessel as

a fire-extinguishing agent shall be

subjected to a hydrostatic test of 11⁄2

times the maximum allowable working

pressure in the tenth year of the

installation and at ten-year intervals

thereafter. After the test, the tank should

be drained and an internal examination

made. Parts of the jacket and lagging on

the underside of the tank designated by

the marine inspector must be removed

at the time of the test so the marine

inspector may determine the external

condition of the tank.

* * * * *

41. Section 61.15–5 is amended by

revising paragraph (b) to read as follows:

§ 61.15–5 Steam piping.

* * * * *

(b) All steam piping subject to

pressure from the main boiler should be

subjected to a hydrostatic test at a

pressure of 11⁄4 times the maximum

allowable working pressure of the boiler

after every five years of service except

as otherwise provided for in paragraph

(a) of this section. Unless the covering

of the piping is removed, the test

pressure must be maintained on the

piping for ten minutes. If any evidence

of moisture or leakage is detected, the

covering should be removed and the

piping thoroughly examined. No piping

with a nominal size of 3 inches or less

need be hydrostatically tested.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

Federal Register of February 22, 1995

(60 FR 9815), on its own initiative and

pursuant to section 408(e) of the Federal

Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),

21 U.S.C. 346a(e), EPA proposed a timelimited tolerance, to expire June 28,

1996, permitting the combined residues

of the insecticide 1-[(6-chloro-3-

pyridinyl)methyl]-N-nitro-2-

imidazolidinimine and its metabolites

containing the chloropyridinyl moiety,

all expressed as 1-[(6-chloro-3-

pyridinyl)methyl]-N-nitro-2-

imidazolidinimine, in or on the raw

agricultural commodity dried hops at

3.0 parts per million.

There were no comments or requests

for referral to an advisory committee

received in response to the proposed

rule.

The data submitted on the proposal

and other relevant material have been

evaluated and discussed in the

proposed rule. Based on the data and

information considered, the Agency

concludes that the time-limited

tolerance will protect the public health.

Therefore, the tolerance is established as

set forth below.

Any person adversely affected by this

regulation may, within 30 days after

publication of this document in the

Federal Register, file written objections

and/or request a hearing with the

Hearing Clerk, at the address given

above (40 CFR 178.20). A copy of the

objections and/or hearing requests filed

with the Hearing Clerk should be

submitted to the OPP docket for this

rulemaking. The objections submitted

must specify the provisions of the

regulation deemed objectionable and the

grounds for the objections (40 CFR

178.25). Each objection must be

accompanied by the fee prescribed by

40 CFR 180.33(i). If a hearing is

requested, the objections must include a

statement of the factual issue(s) on

which a hearing is requested, the

requestor’s contentions on such issues,

and a summary of any evidence relied

upon by the objector (40 CFR 178.27). A

request for a hearing will be granted if

the Administrator determines that the

material submitted shows the following:

There is a genuine and substantial issue

of fact; there is a reasonable possibility

that available evidence identified by the

requestor would, if established, resolve

one or more of such issues in favor of

the requestor, taking into account

uncontested claims or facts to the

contrary; and resolution of the factual

issue(s) in the manner sought by the

requestor would be adequate to justify

the action requested (40 CFR 178.32).

A record has been established for this

rulemaking under docket number [OPP300379A] (including copies of

objections and hearing requests

submitted electronically as described

below). A public version of this record,

including printed, paper versions of

electronic comments, which does not

include any information claimed as CBI,

is available for inspection from 8 a.m. to

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,

excluding legal holidays. The public

record is located in Room 1132 of the

Public Response and Program Resources

Branch, Field Operations Division

(7506C), Office of Pesticide Programs,

Environmental Protection Agency,

Crystal Mall #2, 1921 Jefferson Davis

Highway, Arlington, VA.

A copy of written objections and

hearing requests, identified by the

document control number [OPP300379A], may be submitted to the

Hearing Clerk (1900), Environmental

Protection Agency, Rm. 3708, 401 M St.,

SW., Washington, DC 20460.

A copy of electronic objections and

hearing requests filed with the Hearing

Clerk can be sent directly to EPA at:

opp-Docket@epamail.epa.gov.

A copy of electronic objections and

hearing requests filed with the Hearing

Clerk must be submitted as an ASCII file

avoiding the use of special characters

and any form of encryption.

The official record for this

rulemaking, as well as the public

version, as described above will be kept

in paper form. Accordingly, EPA will

transfer any objections and hearing

requests received electronically into

printed, paper form as they are received

and will place the paper copies in the

official rulemaking record which will

also include all objections and hearing

requests submitted directly in writing.

The official rulemaking record is the

paper record maintained at the address

in ADDRESSES at the beginning of this

document.

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR

51735, Oct. 4, 1993), the Agency must

determine whether the regulatory action

is ‘‘significant’’ and therefore subject to

review by the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) and the requirements of

the Executive Order. Under section 3(f),

the order defines a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ as an action that is

likely to result in a rule (1) having an

annual effect on the economy of $100

million or more, or adversely and

materially affecting a sector of the

economy, productivity, competition,

jobs, the environment, public health or

safety, or State, local, or tribal

governments or communities (also

referred to as ‘‘economically

significant’’); (2) creating serious

inconsistency or otherwise interfering

with an action taken or planned by

another agency; (3) materially altering

the budgetary impacts of entitlement,

grants, user fees, or loan programs or the

rights and obligations of recipients

thereof; or (4) raising novel legal or

policy issues arising out of legal

mandates, the President’s priorities, or

the principles set forth in this Executive

Order.

Pursuant to the terms of the Executive

Order, EPA has determined that this

rule is not ‘‘significant’’ and is therefore

not subject to OMB review.

Pursuant to the requirements of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-

354, 94 Stat. 1164, 5 U.S.C. 601-612),

the Administrator has determined that

regulations establishing new tolerances

or raising tolerance levels or

establishing exemptions from tolerance

requirements do not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. A certification

statement to this effect was published in

the Federal Register of May 4, 1981 (46

FR 24950).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to petitions from the Rhone Poulenc Ag.

Co., P.O. Box 12014, Research Triangle

Park, NC 27709, EPA issued final rules

establishing temporary tolerances for

residues of the combined residues of the

insecticide thiodicarb in or on leafy

vegetables at 35 parts per million (ppm)

and broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower

at 7 ppm (see the Federal Register of

August 11, 1993 (58 FR 42673)).

To be consistent with conditional

registrations for thiodicarb on leafy

vegetables and broccoli, cabbage, and

cauliflower, which were due to expire

December 31, 1994, the Agency

established the tolerances with an

expiration date of August 15, 1995, to

cover residues expected to be present

from use during the period of

conditional registration while the

Agency continued to review studies on

acetamide, a metabolite, and the chronic

carcinogenicity studies for thiodicarb.

The Agency concluded that the human

risk posed by the use of thiodicarb on

leafy vegetables and broccoli, cabbage,

and cauliflower does not raise

significant concerns and that extending

the tolerances would still be protective

of human health. The Agency is

continuing to review submitted

toxicology studies.

In a notice in the Federal Register of

January 12, 1995 (60 FR 2962), the

Agency announced the receipt of a

request from Rhone Poulenc Ag. Co. to

extend the temporary tolerance for

thiodicarb and its metabolite for leafy

vegetables and broccoli, cabbage, and

cauliflower for 1 year with an expiration

date of August 15, 1996. No comments

were received as a result of the notice.

Therefore, as set forth below, the

temporary tolerances are extended for

an additional year with an expiration

date of August 15, 1996, to cover

residues existing from the continued

conditional registration of thiodicarb.

The tolerances could be made

permanent if full registration is

subsequently granted. Notice of further

action on these tolerances will be

published for comment in the Federal

Register. Residues remaining in or on

the above raw agricultural commodities

after expiration of the tolerances will

not be considered actionable if the

pesticide is legally applied during the

term of, and in accordance with,

provisions of the conditional

registrations.

Any person adversely affected by this

regulation may, within 30 days after

publication of this document in the

Federal Register, file written objections

with the Hearing Clerk, at the address

given above. 40 CFR 178.20. The

objections submitted must specify the

provisions for the regulation deemed

objectionable and the grounds for the

objections. 40 CFR 178.25. Each

objections must be accompanied by the

fee prescribed by 40 CFR 180.33(i). If a

hearing is requested, the objections

must include a statement of the factual

issue(s) on which a hearing will be

granted if the Administrator determines

that the material submitted shows the

following: There is a genuine and
