Ward Transformer Superfund Site; Raleigh, Wake County, NC; Notice of Settlement, 14543-14544 [2013-05244]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 6, 2013 / Notices pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES pome, and stone fruits completed July 25, 2012, and an addendum completed on January 24, 2013, that addresses other scenarios not covered in the July 25, 2012 new use assessment. The Agency has also conducted an ecological risk assessment, which includes a screening-level listed species assessment. EPA acknowledges that further refinements to the listed species assessment will be completed in future revisions and requests public comment on specific areas that will reduce the uncertainties associated with the characterization of risk to listed species identified in the current assessment. Silica Silicates The registration review docket for silica silicates (EPA–HQ–OPP–2007– 1140) opened in a notice published in the Federal Register of March 26, 2008 (73 FR 16011) (FRL–8356–4). Silica silicates, silicon dioxide and silica gel, are insecticides and acaracides used in controlling insects at indoor and outdoor sites including a variety of crops. Silicon dioxide is diatomaceous earth, a naturally-occurring material composed of the shells of minute, single-celled algae. Silica gel is an amorphous form of silicon dioxide. Because of their abrasive characteristics, both active ingredients affect insects by removing the oily protective film covering their bodies which normally prevents the loss of water, leading to death by desiccation. The qualitative human health risk assessment conducted for the 1991 reregistration eligibility decision (RED) is still considered to be an adequate analysis of potential risks to humans. No new human health toxicology or exposure data were required or are available for silica silicates; therefore, a new human health risk assessment was not necessary to be completed for registration review nor is one being made available for comment at this time. Further, due to low toxicity, and the fact that silica silicates naturally occur in the environment, the Agency has conducted a qualitative ecological risk assessment for non-target terrestrial species. EPA acknowledges that further refinements to the listed species assessment will be completed in future revisions and requests public comment on specific areas that will reduce the uncertainties associated with the characterization of risk to listed species identified in the current assessment. Undecylenic Acid (UDA) The registration review docket for UDA (EPA–HQ–OPP–2011–0910) opened in a notice published in the Federal Register of December 21, 2011 VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:01 Mar 05, 2013 Jkt 229001 (76 FR 79173) (FRL–9329–7). UDA is registered as an insecticide in pet shampoos and spray products in combination with dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (DSS). There are no food uses and, thus, no tolerances are established. UDA is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an active ingredient in over the counter anti-fungal products, and it is also used as a flavoring agent. EPA has conducted a qualitative assessment for both human health and ecological risks, including listed species for UDA. 1. Other related information. Additional information on cyromazine, silica silicates, glufosinate ammonium, DSS, and UDA is available on the chemical pages for these pesticides in Chemical Search, https://www.epa.gov/ pesticides/chemicalsearch/, and in each chemical’s individual docket listed in Table in Unit III.
