e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to

Abstract: EPA is required under
Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to
regulate Volatile Organic Compound
(VOC) emissions from the use of
consumer and commercial products.
Under regulations promulgated on
February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428)
manufacturers of new portable gasoline
containers are required to obtain
certificates of conformity with the Clean
Air Act, effective January 1, 2009. This
ICR covers the burdens associated with
this certification process. EPA reviews
information submitted in the
application for certification to
determine if the container design
conforms to applicable requirements
and to verify that the required testing
has been performed. The certificate
holder is required to keep records on the
testing and collect and keep warranty
and defect information for annual
reporting on in-use performance of their
products. The respondent must also
retain records on the units produced,
apply serial numbers to individual
containers, and track the serial numbers
to their certificates of conformity. Any
information submitted for which a claim
of confidentiality is made is safeguarded
according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR
2.201 et seq.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
manufacturers of new portable gasoline
containers from 0.25 to 10.0 gallons in
capacity.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
mandatory 40 CFR part 59, subpart F.
Estimated number of respondents: 8
(total).
Frequency of response: yearly for
warranty reports; at least once every five
years for certificate renewals.
Total estimated burden: 250 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b)
Total estimated cost: $32,419.45 (per
year), includes $20,452 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is an
increase of 37 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase of the estimated
burden and cost estimates is due to a
change in the estimated cost of labor
and additional testing requirements for
new portable fuel container families to
comply with the requirements for
evaporative testing promulgated in 40
CFR part 59.

Aquashade (Interim Decision).
Aquashade is as an aquatic herbicide
whose mode of action is light filtration.
It is primarily used in small water
bodies like ornamental ponds and small
lakes, fountains and other landscaping
water features, swimming holes,
aquaculture ponds, and animal watering
holes. The Ecological Risk Assessment
found no level of concern risk
exceedances to all taxa. The Human
Health Risk Assessment also indicated
no risk (dietary, residential, and
occupational). Aquashade was not on
either initial list of chemicals to be
screened under the Endocrine Disruptor
Screening Program (EDSP), and an
endangered species assessment has not
been conducted at this time. No
mitigation is proposed at this time. The
Agency’s final registration review
decision is dependent upon the
assessment of risks to threatened and
endangered species and after an EDSP
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) Section 408(p) determination
has been made.
Nithiazine (Interim Decision). The
Nithiazine Summary Document was
published on March 18, 2009.
Nithiazine is used as part of a bait
station to control flies in animal housing
facilities and other industrial
operations. The structure of the bait
station makes contact between
nithiazine and humans unlikely;
therefore, there are no human health
risk concerns for nithiazine. Since the
active ingredient is contained in a bait
station, no ecological exposure is
expected. Therefore, there are no
ecological risk concerns for nithiazine.
Nithiazine does not pose a threat to
pollinators and the Agency has
determined that it will cause No Effect
to listed species. The Agency has
determined that no additional data are
required at this time to support the
continuing registrations of nithiazine
products. The final decision on the
registration review for nithiazine will
occur after an EDSP FFDCA section
408(p) determination has been made.

limonene opened in September 2010. dLimonene is a naturally occurring
chemical obtained from the rind of
citrus fruits. It is registered for use as an
acaricide, insecticide, herbicide, insect
repellent, and is used as an inert
ingredient for scent and flavoring in
other non-pesticide products. dLimonene is currently registered for use
in/on food crops (citrus, pome fruits,
grapes), feed crops, non-food crops
(ornamentals, Christmas trees,
fencerows, recreational areas, wood
protection) and for residential uses. EPA
published the draft human health and
ecological risk assessments in December
2014. A qualitative human health
assessment was conducted, and the
Agency concluded that d-limonene does
not pose a risk to human health. A
quantitative ecological risk assessment
was conducted and levels of concern
were exceeded for terrestrial plants and
mammals (risks to birds and terrestrial
invertebrates could not be precluded).
The Agency is requiring modifications
to several labels to reduce potential
risks of d-limonene to terrestrial birds
and mammals. In addition, the Agency
will make several modifications to 40
CFR part 180. The Agency will establish
an exemption for the herbicidal uses of
d-limonene from a tolerance under
subpart D, and existing exemption from
tolerances from the repellant uses of dlimonene under 180.539 subpart C will
be moved to subpart D for insecticidal
uses. This Interim Decision does not
cover the EDSP component of this
registration review case, nor does it
include a complete endangered species
assessment or pollinator risk
assessment. The Agency’s final
registration review decision is
dependent upon the assessment of risks
to threatened and endangered species
and pollinators as well as a
determination under FFDCA Section
408(p) regarding endocrine disruption.
2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol- 3(4H)-one,
5,6-dihydro-2- methyl- (Interim
Decision). There is one EPA registered

MTI. MTI is a materials preservative for
use in the manufacture of aqueous
compositions used in the manufacture
of imaging products. The Agency did
not require any additional data in
support of MTI’s registration review or
need to conduct human health or
environmental risk assessments due to
the lack of exposure concerns for MTI’s
registered use. Based on the lack of
potential exposure, the Agency made a
‘‘no effect’’ determination for listed
species under the Endangered Species
Act (ESA). Except for the EDSP
component of the MTI registration
review case, the Agency is not requiring
additional data and is not proposing any
risk reduction measures for this case.
The final decision on the registration
review for MTI will occur after the
EDSP FFDCA section 408(p)
determination is made.
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 the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA). EPA has considered the
pesticides found in the Table in this
unit in light of the FIFRA standard for
registration. The Interim Decision
document in the dockets describes the
Agency’s rationale for issuing a
registration review interim decision for
these pesticides.
In addition to the interim registration
review decision documents, the
registration review dockets for the
pesticides listed in the Table in this unit
also includes other relevant documents
related to the registration review of
these cases. The proposed interim
registration review decisions were
posted to the docket and the public was
invited to submit any comments or new
information.
EPA addresses the comments or
information received during the 60-day
comment period in the discussion for
each pesticide listed in this document.
During the 60-day comment period, no
public comments were received for
aquashade, nithiazine, or 2HCyclopent(d)isothiazol- 3(4H)-one, 5,6-

were received for d-limonene however
the public comments received were not
substantive and did not affect the
Agency’s interim decision.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the
registration review case docket for the
pesticides listed in the Table in Unit II
will remain open until all actions
required in the interim decisions have
been completed.

also indicated no risk (dietary, residential, and occupational).
Aquashade was not on either initial list of chemicals to be screened

endangered species assessment has not been conducted at this time. No
mitigation is proposed at this time. The Agency's final registration
review decision is dependent upon the assessment of risks to threatened
and endangered species and after an EDSP Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) Section 408(p) determination has been made.
Nithiazine (Interim Decision). The Nithiazine Summary Document was
published on March 18, 2009. Nithiazine is used as part of a bait

industrial operations. The structure of the bait station makes contact
between nithiazine and humans unlikely; therefore, there are no human
health risk concerns for nithiazine. Since the active ingredient is
contained in a bait station, no ecological exposure is expected.
Therefore, there are no ecological risk concerns for nithiazine.
Nithiazine does not pose a threat to pollinators and the Agency has
determined that it will cause No Effect to listed species. The Agency
has determined that no additional data are required at this time to
support the continuing registrations of nithiazine products. The final
decision on the registration review for nithiazine will occur after an
EDSP FFDCA section 408(p) determination has been made.
d-Limonene (Interim Decision). The registration review docket for
d-limonene opened in September 2010. d-Limonene is a naturally
occurring chemical obtained from the rind of citrus fruits. It is
registered for use as an acaricide, insecticide, herbicide, insect
repellent, and is used as an inert ingredient for scent and flavoring
in other non-pesticide products. d-Limonene is currently registered for
use in/on food crops (citrus, pome fruits, grapes), feed crops, non-
food crops (ornamentals, Christmas trees, fencerows, recreational
areas, wood protection) and for residential uses. EPA published the
draft human health and ecological risk assessments in December 2014. A
qualitative human health assessment was conducted, and the Agency
concluded that d-limonene does not pose a risk to human health. A
quantitative ecological risk assessment was conducted and levels of
concern were exceeded for terrestrial plants and mammals (risks to
birds and terrestrial invertebrates could not be precluded). The Agency
is requiring modifications to several labels to reduce potential risks
of d-limonene to terrestrial birds and mammals. In addition, the Agency
will make several modifications to 40 CFR part 180. The Agency will
establish an exemption for the herbicidal uses of d-limonene from a
tolerance under subpart D, and existing exemption from tolerances from
the repellant uses of d-limonene under 180.539 subpart C will be moved
to subpart D for insecticidal uses. This Interim Decision does not
cover the EDSP component of this registration review case, nor does it
include a complete endangered species assessment or pollinator risk
assessment. The Agency's final registration review decision is
dependent upon the assessment of risks to threatened and endangered
species and pollinators as well as a determination under FFDCA Section
408(p) regarding endocrine disruption.
2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol- 3(4H)-one, 5,6-dihydro-2- methyl-
(Interim Decision). There is one EPA registered product containing
active ingredient 2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol-3(4H)-one, 5,6- dihydro-2-
methyl-, also known as MTI. MTI is a materials preservative for use in
the manufacture of aqueous compositions used in the manufacture of
imaging products. The Agency did not require any additional data in
support of MTI's registration review or need to conduct human health or
environmental risk assessments due to the lack of exposure concerns for
MTI's registered use. Based on the lack of potential exposure, the
Agency made a ``no effect'' determination for listed species under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA). Except for the EDSP component of the MTI
registration review case, the Agency is not requiring additional data
and is not proposing any risk reduction measures for this case. The
final decision on the registration review for MTI will occur after the
EDSP FFDCA section 408(p) determination is made.
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 the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). EPA has considered the pesticides found in the
Table in this unit in light of the FIFRA standard for registration. The
Interim Decision document in the dockets describes the Agency's
rationale for issuing a registration review interim decision for these
pesticides.
In addition to the interim registration review decision documents,
the registration review dockets for the pesticides listed in the Table
in this unit also includes other relevant documents related to the
registration review of these cases. The proposed interim registration
review decisions were posted to the docket and the public was invited
to submit any comments or new information.
EPA addresses the comments or information received during the 60-
day comment period in the discussion for each pesticide listed in this
document. During the 60-day comment period, no public comments were
received for aquashade, nithiazine, or 2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol-
3(4H)-one, 5,6-
[[Page 23296]]
dihydro-2- methyl (MTI). Comments were received for d-limonene however
the public comments received were not substantive and did not affect
the Agency's interim decision.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the registration review case docket
for the pesticides listed in the Table in Unit II will remain open
until all actions required in the interim decisions have been
completed.
