Sulfur (Interim Decision). The registration review docket for sulfur (EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–0176) opened in March 2008. Sulfur is used as an insecticide and fungicide on a wide range of field and greenhouse-grown food and feed crops, livestock, livestock quarters, and indoor and outdoor residential sites. Sulfur is also registered for use in gas cartridge products, along with inorganic nitrate/nitrite, carbon, and carbon dioxide. EPA has conducted a qualitative assessment for both human health and ecological risks, including listed species, for sulfur. Details of the assessment for the gas cartridge use are summarized under the gas cartridge heading in this unit. For uses of sulfur other than gas cartridges, the Agency is making a ‘‘no effect’’ determination for all listed aquatic species, and a ‘‘no effect’’ determination for direct effects to listed terrestrial vertebrates that do not rely on insects as a primary food source. However, at this time, the Agency is not able to make a listed species determination for effects to terrestrial invertebrates, terrestrial plants, or indirect effects to terrestrial vertebrates with insects as a primary food source. Sulfur has not been evaluated under the EDSP. Therefore, the Agency’s final registration review decision is dependent upon the result of an ESA Section 7 consultation with the USFWS and the evaluation of potential endocrine disruptor risk. Case Closure for Flufenpyr-ethyl (PC Code 108853; Case 7262). Flufenpyrethyl is an herbicide which was labeled for post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in field corn, soybeans, and sugarcane. On March 19, 2015, the Agency received a request for voluntary cancellation of flufenpyr-ethyl from the technical and end-use product registrant, Valent USA Corporation. EPA subsequently issued a Federal Register notice announcing receipt of the request (FRL–9928–54) on July 8, 2015 (80 FR 39100), and allowed for a 30-day period for public comment on the request. No comments were received, and on September 22, 2015, EPA issued the cancellation order terminating the last pesticide products containing flufenpyrethyl registered in the United States (80 FR 57179) (FRL–9933–58). There were no existing stocks of these products and no requests for existing stocks provisions. Therefore no existing stocks provision was provided for these product registrations. With the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:19 Oct 14, 2015 Jkt 238001 cancellation of these remaining products, the Agency is announcing the closure of the registration review case for flufenpyr-ethyl. Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a registration review decision is the Agency’s determination whether a pesticide meets, or does not meet, the standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA has considered the pesticides listed in light of the FIFRA standard for registration. The interim decision documents in the dockets describe the Agency’s rationale for issuing registration review interim decisions for these pesticides. In addition to the interim registration review decision documents, the registration review docket for these pesticides also includes other relevant documents related to the registration review of these cases. The proposed interim registration review decisions were previously posted to each docket and the public was invited to submit any comments or new information. EPA has addressed the substantive comments or information received during the 60-day comment period in the interim decision document for each pesticide listed in this document. Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the registration review case docket for each pesticide discussed in this notice will remain open until all actions required in the interim decisions have been completed. Background on the registration review program is provided at: https:// www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_ review. Links to earlier documents related to the registration review of this pesticide are provided in the Pesticide Chemical Search data base accessible at: https://iaspub.epa.gov/apex/pesticides/ f?p=chemicalsearch.

Abstract: The 1990 CAA Amendments added section 112(r) to provide for the prevention and mitigation of accidental releases. Section 112(r) mandates that EPA promulgate a list of ‘‘regulated substances’’ with threshold quantities and establish procedures for the addition and deletion of substances from the list of regulated substances. Processes at stationary sources that contain more than a threshold quantity of a regulated substance are subject to accidental release prevention regulations promulgated under CAA section 112(r)(7). These two rules are codified as 40 CFR part 68. Part 68 requires that sources with more than a threshold quantity of a regulated substance in a process develop and implement a risk management program and submit a risk management plan to EPA. The compliance schedule for the Part 68 requirements, established by rule on June 20, 1996, requires the implementation of the source risk management programs and the submission of initial Risk Management Plans (RMPs) by June 21, 1999, and at least every five years after the initial submission. Sources must resubmit earlier than their next five-year deadline if they undergo certain changes to their covered processes as specified in Part 68. Therefore, after the initial submission, some sources re-submitted their RMPs prior to the next 5-year deadline because they had process changes that required an earlier update. These sources were then assigned a new five-year resubmission deadline based on the date of their revised plan submission. Most covered sources had no significant changes to their covered processes and therefore resubmitted their updated RMP on June 21, 2004. This same pattern continued through VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:19 Oct 14, 2015 Jkt 238001 the next two submission cycles—some sources updated and resubmitted their RMP prior to their next five-year deadline and were assigned a new (offcycle) five-year deadline, but a majority of sources submitted their updated RMP on or near the next scheduled five-year resubmission deadlines (June 2009 and June 2014). Similarly, while most sources’ next submission is due in June 2019, because of off-cycle resubmission deadlines assigned to sources who have resubmitted RMPs prior to their next 5year resubmission date, only a portion of the RMP-regulated universe has a submission deadline occurring in June 2019. Other than the costs for gathering information and filling out the on-line RMP form, the regulations require sources to maintain on-site documentation, perform a compliance audit every three years, provide refresher training to employees, perform a hazard analysis at least every five years, etc. Some of these activities are expected to occur annually or are ongoing. Some are required every three years or every five years, unless there are changes at the facility. Therefore, the burden and costs incurred by sources vary from ICR to ICR. The five-year resubmission deadline set by the regulations or assigned by EPA based on the latest RMP resubmission also will cause the burden to vary from ICR to ICR. Form Numbers: 8700–25, 8700–27, 8700–28. Respondents/affected entities: Chemical manufacturers, petroleum refineries, water treatment systems, agricultural chemical distributors, refrigerated warehouses, chemical distributors, non-chemical manufacturers, wholesale fuel distributors, energy generation facilities, etc. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 68). Estimated number of respondents: 13,396 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 54,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b) Total estimated cost: $6,680,625 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 26,546 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The reason for this decrease is because this ICR period does not include a major filing deadline year and the previous ICR did include a major filing deadline. Second, the number of sources subject to the regulations PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 fluctuates regularly, and is lower in this ICR period than in the previous ICR.
